Ohio Democrats to introduce series of abortion rights bills

Saying they are “done sitting on the sidelines,” female Democratic legislators and groups supporting abortion rights proposed a half-dozen bills Wednesday and vowed to fight Republican efforts to further limit abortion access. “We will not allow Ohioans to hear only one message from its legislature,” said Rep. Greta Johnson, D-Akron, flanked by fellow lawmakers and about 25 supporters with signs backing Planned Parenthood and health care choice.
