NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, our Deputy Director Jaime Miracle sat down with Jasmine Henderson, Director of Policy & Social Impact with the Ohio Women's Alliance, and Rev. Terry Williams, Faith Organizer for the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. The trio discussed terrible legislation pending in the Ohio Statehouse to punish people for expressing their first amendment rights through protest. This legislation is nothing more than a transparent attempt to stifle Ohioans' voices and make it harder for Ohioans to organize protests that Republicans don't agree with.  Learn more about these bills at https://uujo.org/take-action/our-voices-together-pro-democracy-action/ and https://www.facebook.com/takeactionforoh/.  Visit https://www.ohiowomensalliance.org/ and https://www.ohiorcrc.org/ to get more info from our amazing partners! ********** Listen to NARAL's The Morning After on these podcast apps: Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/naralpodcast Spotify: bit.ly/naralspotify Stitcher: bit.ly/naralstitcher Podbean: bit.ly/naralpodbean

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. On this week's episode, Kelley, Ariana, and Rhyannon discuss the history of abortion, from the 1920s until present day.  A new study from OPEN has found that one in 10 Ohio women surveyed thought abortion was prohibited because of confusion during the debate over abortion ban bills. The percentage with that belief increased from 5% to 16% during the study period, corresponding to sustained activity to limit abortions from fall of 2018 through summer of 2019. ********** Listen to NARAL's The Morning After on these podcast apps: Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/naralpodcast Spotify: bit.ly/naralspotify Stitcher: bit.ly/naralstitcher Podbean: bit.ly/naralpodbean

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. On this weeks episode, we're listening in to a hearing of the Ohio Senate Health Committee. They held a 10 hour meeting on Wednesday (don't worry, our show is only 29 minutes!) that was mostly testimony on SCR 14, which would declare racism to be a public health crisis in Ohio. Our excerpted audio from the hearing includes resolution sponsors Sen. Sandra Williams and Sen. Hearcel Craig. They receive questions from Sen. Nickie Antonio, Sen. Tina Maharath, and Sen. Cecile Thomas. We also have audio from Franklin County Commissioner Kevin Boyce, Columbus City Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson, and former state senator Charleta Tavares. This hearing was not without additional controversy. Mid-way through the hearing, Sen. Steve Huffman referred to “the colored population” and questioned whether they get COVID-19 more often because they do not wash their hands as much. After this racist question was spread on social media, Sen. Huffman was fired from his day job — a physician at a Dayton-area hospital. ********** Listen to NARAL's The Morning After on these podcast apps: Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/naralpodcast Spotify: bit.ly/naralspotify Stitcher: bit.ly/naralstitcher Podbean: bit.ly/naralpodbean

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. On this weeks episode, our Executive Director Kellie Copeland addressed the current protests happening across the nation and our support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Then, we turn back to the legislature to hear from three members of the Ohio House of Representative and a policy proposal that could be a significant positive gain for pregnant people in Ohio. Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson and Rep. Erica Crawley have introduced House Bill 611, which would provide Medicaid coverage for birthing doulas. Doula care is one way to ensure positive birthing outcomes, which is a key step in reducing the state's infant mortality crisis. Ohio's Black infant mortality rate is among the worst in the nation. Discussing the proposal with them is Rep. Kristin Boggs, who also values this proposal to help Black families.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Gabe and Jaime traveled to the US Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati. The Down syndrome abortion ban signed into law by former Gov. John Kasich was immediately blocked by federal courts. The appeal by Gov. Mike DeWine's Department of Health challenging the stoppage called for an en banc review, which means the case was heard by all SIXTEEN judges of the appeals court at one time, instead of the usual three judge panel.  The state's argument was presented by attorney Ben Flowers and joined by an addition from the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division attorney, Alexander Maugeri. The plaintiff, Preterm, was represented by attorney and Case professor, Jessie Hill. The state of Ohio is arguing many positions, first being that this abortion ban somehow isn't an abortion ban. They feel that it applies to doctors and not women, so the women aren't impacted. (We note that the entire trial, and our discussion of it, was entirely using gendered language. This isn't a principal shared by NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, but it's not our court.) A second position of the state, and several male judges on the court, is that women won't be impacted by this ban because they can just dodge it by not informing their doctor why they are seeking an abortion. Prof. Hill pointed out that asking patients to hide information from doctors is not sound health care policy. Full hearing audio is available at: https://www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/internet/court_audio/aud1.php (Look for March 11, 2020 - 18-3329 Preterm-Cleveland v Amy Acton et al.) ********** Listen to NARAL's The Morning After on these podcast apps: Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/naralpodcast Spotify: bit.ly/naralspotify Stitcher: bit.ly/naralstitcher Podbean: bit.ly/naralpodbean

NARAL's The Morning After is a production is NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. With all of the anti-science bills in the Ohio Statehouse, we thought Jaime, Gabe, and Kelley should review.  This week, Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Jessie Balmert obtained emails from Equity Forward revealing the origin of the false idea legislators have about transplanting an ectopic pregnancy: "Clermont County Rep. John Becker, R-Union Township, didn't consult doctors about the medical procedure. Instead, he received regular input from Barry Sheets, a lobbyist for the Right to Life Action Coalition of Ohio, according to emails obtained through an Enquirer public records request. ... "Sheets offered line-item changes to Becker's House Bill 182, which would ban most private insurance coverage of abortions in Ohio. And the lobbyist helped Becker defend one of the bill's more controversial ideas: permitting health insurance to cover reinserting a fertilized egg that attaches outside the uterus – called an ectopic or tubal pregnancy – into the uterus." We all know this idea they're proposing — now in two separate House bills — is science fiction.  Read more in the Cincinnati Enquirer ********** For upcoming events, visit the Events tab on our Facebook page.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Gabe and Jaime discuss the November Democratic Debate, the family-centered legislative plans from the Ohio House Democratic Caucus, and House Bill 413, the new Total Abortion Ban that would charge abortion providers and patients with the death penalty.  At the end of the episode, we listen to some testimony from Jaime, along with Sarah Inskeep from URGE and Rev. Terry Williams from the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Rights. These three testified against House Bill 297, which would create a 50% tax credit for donors to fake women's health centers (AKA crisis pregnancy centers or CPCs).

Terry Williams from the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.  The Ohio Senate Committee on Health, Human Services, and Medicaid approved Senate Bill 155 and Senate Bill 208 on Tuesday, and there were floor votes in Ohio Senate session on Wednesday. The bills push harmful false narratives about abortion, and each would charge physicians with third degree felonies for not complying with medically unnecessary rules. In the Ohio House Committee on Ways and Means, House Bill 297 received its second hearing. This bill would create a tax CREDIT to give money from taxpayers to donors of fake women's health centers (AKA crisis pregnancy centers or CPCs). In Dayton, Kelley is continuing to organize supporters of Women's Med Center.

NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Gabe and Jaime review the hearing on Senate Bill 155, with testimony being offered by NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio and many of our partners. NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio strongly opposes Senate Bill 155. This bill requires medical professionals to give at best medically unproven information and at worst, information that could harm their patients. Abortion “reversal” has not been scientifically researched and its potential side effects and risks have not been determined. Politicians should never mandate that health care providers give their patients inaccurate information about an unproven treatment.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, our own Jaime Miracle sat down with Elizabeth Brown, Executive Director of the Women's Public Policy Network. They discussed a provision in the state budget that uses taxpayer funding to operate fake women's health centers. That's right, your tax dollars are funding deceptive, anti-choice health clinics, sometimes known as "Crisis Pregnancy Centers." These groups are infamous for giving misleading and medically-inaccurate information to pregnant patients seeking care. Today's podcast audio is courtesy of Women's Public Policy Network. ***** While you're listening to this week's show, be sure to check out the Events tab on our Facebook page. On October third at the Hilltop Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio is co-hosting a town hall. Together with the Kaleidoscope Youth Center and Columbus DSA, you'll be able to meet state legislators from Franklin County and talk about the full spectrum of reproductive health care, from abortion to better birth outcomes, to childcare, charter schools, and parenting LGBTQIA+ youth. Child care is available at this event.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Gabe is joined by Lauren and Sierra from Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio! Following a national decision by Planned Parenthood affiliates to withdraw from Title X (the federal family planning funding source), health centers are starting to inform patients what it will mean as sources of funding are gone. In Ohio, we're seeing some of the first major consequences as Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region closed two community health centers in the Cincinnati area. The changes to Title X are unrelated to the availability of government funding, but actually an intended negative outcome from the Trump/Pence agenda attacking Planned Parenthood.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Kelley is joined by returning guests Claressa and Michelle, who are collectively known as Feminist Flag Corps. The pair of super-activists just wrapped a jam packed summer that included attending the week-long Garbage Fyre Fest, sponsored by Abortion AF, and also Michelle's protest inside the Cincinnati Trump rally where she and her colleagues held up Donald's speech by displaying a banner reading "Chinga la Migra." After recording the podcast, the trio hopped in a packed car to rush down to Cincinnati to rally in support of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio. The PPSWO affiliate is having to close two health care centers (not abortion clinics) this month because of the Trump gag rule on Title X providers.  For info on upcoming events, visit: https://www.facebook.com/pg/NARALProChoiceOhio/events/ 

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Kelley and Gabe are again joined by Elaina Ramsey, from the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Elaina spent the weekend with 130 of her closest friends showing the Westboro Baptist Church they support their pastor, who just happens to be a woman: Rev. Virginia Lohmann Bauman. Elaina's church, St. John's UCC, was targeted by the baddies from Westboro... all six of them. Find info about upcoming events on our Facebook page.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Kelley, Gabe, and Elaina talk about the recent decision by the Ohio Supreme Court to drop the appeal from Women's Med Center. That case was one part in the clinic's fight to stay open in the face of political attacks from Gov. Mike DeWine. We also looked at the choice by Planned Parenthood to withdraw from federal Title X family planning funding because of an unacceptable gag rule from the Trump administration.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Kelley and Gabe talk with hilarious Columbus comedian Brooke Cartus! Brooke was a part of this week's Stand Up for Choice show, a comedy series that has raised funds for Ohio organizations working for reproductive freedom. Tuesday's show raised $1,300 for ACLU Ohio, and brought the series total to over $15,000! The series was started by Pat Deering and Amber Falter, and this was Amber's last show before she moves to Canada. We're so grateful for everything Amber has done for the pro-choice movement! You can find comedy recordings from Brooke at http://brookecartus.com/  Find info on upcoming events on our Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/NARALProChoiceOhio/events/ 

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Kelley, Jaime, and Gabe put a wrap on the 2019 Ohio state operating budget. We were disgusted to see that Gov. DeWine did not use a line item veto to remove the $7,500,000 allocation for fake women's health centers. Ohio House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes addressed the funds: https://youtu.be/K5oOg0NG5oI In separate crisis pregnancy center news, Rep. Jena Powell and Rep. Tim Ginter are proposing a 50% refundable tax credit for donations to fake women's health centers. Butler County Democrats objected to Rep. Candice Keller supporting the #KellerKickback bill, and she has since announced she will abstain because of her conflict of interest. In other news, Kelley has been leading a great campaign to call on Premier Health to sign a transfer agreement with Women's Med Center.

RRASC is a summer internship program from Civil Liberties and Public Policy that places undergraduate students at reproductive rights and social justice organizations around the country. This episode also includes audio from Jaime Miracle's testimony before the Ohio Senate Finance Committee to ask them to remove a $5,000,000 allocation in the 2019 state operating budget to fund fake women's health centers (AKA crisis pregnancy centers, or CPCs).  Find info on upcoming events on our Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/NARALProChoiceOhio/events/

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week… oh, what have we done? We handed the podcast over to Kelley, who interviewed two of our most… boisterous… supporters. She is joined by Michelle Love-Davis, who co-founded Feminist Flag Corps and currently reps WomenHaveOptions.org; and Jordyn Close, who came from WeTestify.org and now organizes for URGE: Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity. These are three fun women who aren't afraid to get loud in support of abortion rights, even if it means getting in the face of anti-abortion protesters at events and at clinics all across the country. Note from Gabe: Yes, Michelle, they did bring the Duggars — all of them — to the Ohio Statehouse to promote the “Heartbeat Bill” in 2013. I was in the room.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Gabe talked to one his first friends in the reproductive rights movement: Pamela Merritt. Along with Erin Matson, Pamela is a co-founder at ReproAction — a national organization working to increase access to abortion and advance reproductive justice. Pamela is based out of Missouri, which has just one remaining abortion clinic: Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region. The governor has been trying to close that clinic by refusing to renew their license. While Planned Parenthood's legal team is fighting to keep the clinic open, ReproAction is busy lifting up the voices of people in that state who desperately need abortion care.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Jaime, Kelley, and Gabe discuss the first hearing on Senate Bill 23, the latest version of the six-week abortion ban. This may be the initial hearing, but it's the fifth session of the Ohio General Assembly that this horrific ban has been introduced, a history reaching back to 2011.  Sen. Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson) provided sponsor testimony on the bill, which included some new ideas we've never heard before. She shared a story of a friend who put a child up for adoption, and compared pregnancies to bald eagle eggs. Seriously. The important point is that no matter what unusual experience or comparison someone has, that isn't a good enough reason to ban abortion access for everyone else. In committee, we heard terrific questions from Sen. Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood) and Sen. Tina Maharath (D-Columbus).  Full video of the committee hearing is available at: http://ohiochannel.org/video/ohio-senate-health-human-services-and-medicaid-committee-2-13-2019  Find info on upcoming events on our Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/NARALProChoiceOhio/events/ 

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Kelley interviewed Jaye McBride, the head writer from Lady Parts Justice! The LPJ team has two fun things to talk about this week. First, they unveiled a hilarious 2019 State of the Uterus video. "On February 4th, Eunice P. Justice, our Uterus in Chief, addresses a joint session of Congress for the annual State of the Uterus, discussing the state of reproductive rights in 2019." Next, they're continuing to raise attention to the lies told by so-called "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" — those fake women's health centers that take public tax dollars and mislead women seeking answers during a pregnancy. They're asking people to #GramTheVan to expose how CPCs use busses and vans to bring shameful tactics straight to your door.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Jaime, Kelley, and Gabe discuss the court hearing on Ohio's Down syndrome abortion ban. The 6th Circuit heard the state's reasons for implementing the new law immediately, which would have a devastating impact on abortion access. Jaime was in the courtroom for the hearing.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, we have audio from our Hannah Servedio's speech at the Cleveland Women's March.  Then we have a terrific conversation with Robin Marty about her new Handbook for a Post-Roe America. After providing readers with a brief history of the abortion rights movement in America, the heart of the book is an instruction manual. Marty provides an amazing collection of advice on how to be involved both as an activist and how patients can obtain abortion access in the face of legal attacks. Whereas her previous work, Crow After Roe, was an in-depth discussion of abortion bans in each state, this new work is a useful guide, complete with contact information of helpful organizations across the country and even how to self-induce abortion in your own home.
