ELLIE: PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES
ARE MEETING TODAY IN DOWNTOWN
COLUMBUS FOR THEIR ANNUAL
LEGISLATIVE DAY.
ELLIE: OHIO'S BAN ON
ABORTIONS AFTER THE 20TH WEEK OF
PREGNANCY WENT INTO EFFECT LAST
MONTH. WHILE PRO-CHOICE GROUPS
SAY ANY BAN IS UNACCEPTABLE,
PRO-LIFE GROUPS ARE ADVOCATING
FOR TWO LAWS THEY BELIEVE WILL
LOWER OHIO'S ABORTION RATE. ONE
WOULD BAN DILATION AND
EVACUATION ABORTIONS. THE
OTHER WOULD GIVE FUNDING TO
PREGNANCY CENTERS.
MICHAEL GONIDAKIS/OHIO RIGHT TO
LIFE: "WE HAVE SO MANY AMAZING
PREGNANCY CENTERS HERE TODAY
THAT HELP WOMEN THAT, FREE OF
CHARGE. ULTRASOUND MACHINES,
BABY CLOTHING, DIAPERS, FORMULA,
WE'VE ASKED IN OUR BUDGET FOR AN
ADDITIONAL MILLION DOLLARS TO
HELP FUND THEIR EFFORTS. AND
THEY HAVE ABOUT 150 OF THEM IN
THE STATE OF OHIO. SO WE NEED TO
HELP YOUNG WOMEN WHO FIND
THEMSELVES WITH UNINTENDED
PREGNANCY, AND OUR PREGNANCY
RESEARCH CENTERS ARE DOING JUST
THAT."
THE GROUP WILL BE MEETING WITH
LAWMAKERS TODAY. ABOUT
