During Buckeye Justice Forum’s program entitled “What’s Next for Reproductive Rights in Ohio?” attendees will hear from a panel of three reproductive health and abortion access experts with varying perspectives on how Ohio has been impacted by last year’s campaign to codify reproductive rights in Ohio’s constitution.

This discussion will review the campaign for Issue 1 and provide attendees with a clear picture of how its success has impacted (and will continue to impact) reproductive rights law and access to care in Ohio. Attendees will be presented with a comprehensive overview the state of legislation in Ohio’s legislature, ongoing litigation in our state courts, and the lived experiences of providers, patients, and abortion access advocates on the ground before, during, and since the passage of Issue 1. The presentation will continue with an open question-and-answer period, during which our audience will be invited to engage in discussion about these issues with our expert speakers.
