  1. It's part of a growing trend: At least 17 clinics closed last year in states where #abortion remains #legal, & another 17 have closed in just the first 5 months of this year, acc/to data gathered by ineedana.com. That includes states that have become abortion destinations, like #Illinois, & those where voters have enshrined broad #ReproductiveRights into the #StateConstitution, like #Michigan.

  2. The Nov 5 #UnitedStates #elections could change the state of play in the 2 states. #Florida’s top court approved a #BallotMeasure asking #voters whether to amend the #StateConstitution to bar #laws that “prohibit, penalize, delay or restrict #abortion” before fetal viability “or when necessary to protect the patient's #health.”

  3. At Stake in Ohio’s #Referendum on Amending the #StateConstitution

    The #vote could play a big role in the future of #AbortionRights in #Ohio. But it also raises questions about the #power of ordinary #citizens over elected #politicians.

    The results could have far-reaching consequences for an issue on the #ballot in Nov: whether to establish a #right to #abortion.
