Abortion

MacArthur "genius grant" winner Shahzia Sikander is showcasing an exhibition across two museums this spring: the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cincinnati Art Museum.

The case against Brittany Watts of Warren has attracted attention beyond Ohio, but the doctors say charges related to her reported miscarriage should be dismissed.

The abortion access and reproductive rights amendment Ohio voters approved with Issue 1 last month goes into effect today.

The majority of the electorate in Ohio's Nov. 7 election were white men and women, and voters between 45-64 - a third of voters were independents, and two-thirds of them voted for both Issues 1 and 2.

Democrats and Republicans in the legislature have different ideas about how to change Ohio's laws now that Issue 1 has passed, changing the state's constitution to guarantee abortion rights.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said lawmakers should accept “the will of the people” after Tuesday‘s vote on abortion access and legal marijuana, but he still wants changes to the latter law.

After the Supreme Court effectively overturned Roe v. Wade, doctors in Ohio and across the country have reported an increased number of patients seeking sterilization.

Early voting numbers in Ohio for the Nov. 7 election on Issues 1 and 2, as well as local candidate and issue races, are up 8% from the August special election, a statewide election on just one constitutional amendment.

Gov. Mike DeWine says if Ohioans reject Issue 1, he'll push to allow some changes to the six-week abortion ban, but backers of the amendment say DeWine and politicians had their chance and now voters will decide.

Supporters of Issue 2 are airing a new ad that says Ohio is losing tax revenues to Michigan because so many Buckeyes go to the state up north to buy marijuana.

A new poll from Baldwin Wallace University just adds more evidence that Ohio voters will approve both Issue 1 and Issue 2 in the November election,

More than 58% of respondents in the Ohio Pulse Poll said they support the amendment known as Issue 1, the reproductive rights amendment. More than 57% said they support Issue 2, which would legalize and regulate recreational marijuana for adults over 21.
