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. 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). Video of that testimony is available at: http://ohiochannel.org/video/ohio-house-ways-and-means-committee-11-12-2019 

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. Following a pair of hearings and two floor votes this week, Kelley and Gabe are joined by Rev. 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. That clinic took their fight from state court to the federal level. ********** For upcoming events, visit the Events tab on our Facebook page.

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. In this week's episode, you'll hear: Elizabeth Brown, Women's Public Policy Network Jaime Miracle, NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Sarah Inskeep, Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity Mason Hickman Gary Daniels, ACLU of Ohio Rev. Terry Williams, Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice Lauren Blauvelt-Copelin, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio Sarah Barry Video of the hearing is available at http://ohiochannel.org/video/ohio-senate-health-human-services-and-medicaid-committee-10-22-2019, and audio for this week's episode was sourced from the Ohio Channel under fair use laws.

  Description:   This week, Kellie, Elaina, and Gabe discuss our new partnership with the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio: “Too often, religion is used to shame and stigmatize people who have had an abortion or use contraceptives. That is why the work of the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice is so important—Ohioans need to know that people of faith trust them to make their own reproductive health decisions.”   Elaina Ramsey, ORCRC's new executive director: “It's an honor to partner with the NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio team in bringing the moral power of religious communities to the reproductive health, rights, and justice movement. A dedicated community organizer and campaign strategist, Ramsey is the first woman of color to lead ORCRC. She is committed to communities of color, low-income women, and immigrants.”   Copeland, a longtime advocate of reproductive freedom, has path forward for reproductive rights in Ohio without engaging more people of faith. Both organizations remain independent but have begun to share office space, resources, and strategies. Through innovation and collaboration, the groups seek to equip secular and faith communities in securing reproductive healthcare for every Ohioan—including access to birth control, comprehensive sexuality education, and safe, legal abortion. Together, NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio and ORCRC will protect the moral and constitutional rights of all Ohioans to make their own reproductive health decisions without shame and stigma and without interference from the state.

Description:   This week, Kelley, Elaina, and Gabe discussed the US Senate vote to defeat Skinny Repeal that would destroy Americans' access to affordable health care and block Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding. Also, they talk about this week's federal court hearing to challenge John Kasich's latest plan to defund Planned Parenthood at the state level. Elaina spoke up against Ohio Right to Life's latest announcement that they really, really, don't support rape survivors. She has a letter in the Columbus Dispatch: “As a rape survivor and a committed Christian, I'm deeply disturbed by Ohio Right to Life's decision to only endorse candidates that “hold a ‘pro-life' position with no exceptions to abortion stemming from rape or incest (Dispatch article, last Friday).” “No woman should be forced to carry a pregnancy against her will, no matter the circumstance. As the executive director of the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, I faithfully advocate for compassionate reproductive care for all — including full access to contraceptives, adoption, abortion, and foster care. Anything less violates the lived experiences and moral agency of Ohio women, particularly survivors of rape and incest. Given that 1 in 3 women will experience physical or sexual violence, Ohio Right to Life's hard-line agenda perpetuates a rape culture. Rape survivors should not be punished and traumatized further to carry a pregnancy to term without their full consent. Whether or not to become a parent is a sacred decision and should remain personal and private. While Ohio Right to Life claims to be nonsectarian, it has a long history of using toxic Christian rhetoric to restrict women's reproductive health-care access. The actions of Ohio Right to Life do not represent my faith, that of other religious traditions, nor the will of most women across our state.” ~ Elaina Ramsey   NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Executive Director Kellie Copeland issued a statement: “This new low standard in the Ohio Right to Life endorsement criteria further solidifies their alignment with extremists like President Donald Trump who believe that women who have abortions should be punished. These values are not Ohio values. Women deserve access to safe, legal abortion care in their communities without judgment or political interference—regardless of the reason she is unable to continue a pregnancy. Here at NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, we trust women to make their own reproductive health decisions, and we will continue to back candidates that do as well.”   Also in the Dispatch, the newspaper issued their third editorial criticizing Ohio Supreme Court Justice Sharen Kennedy for participating in an anti-abortion event before hearing a case about Toledo's last abortion clinic: “The high court should modernize its process for handling complaints against one of its own. This is disappointing given that this court has been open with the public. This falls short of its own standard.”

Rev. Laura Young is the senior pastor at Summit on 16th United Methodist Church in Columbus, OH.  She is also the Director of the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.  Laura along with a large contingent of other clergy across the United States formally came out as LGBTQ in a letter.  Despite the language in the Book of Discipline, Rev. Young is showing everyday that LGBTQ persons can and do serve in meaningful ways. Recorded on 9/27/16. The purpose of 'We Are Compatible' is to explore the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and families as well as their allies in order to show that, regardless of what the United Methodist Book of Discipline may say, they are, in fact, compatible. Please join hosts, Alex Shanks and Josh Culbertson, as they explore these stories of courageous authenticity.
