Sobecki Statement Regarding House’s Passage of Near-total
Abortion Ban
State Rep. Lisa Sobecki
(D-Toledo) released the following statement regarding the
Ohio House’s passage of Senate Bill (SB) 23, a GOP-backed
near-total abortion ban that would prohibit abortions in
Ohio long before most women know they are pregnant:
“I am disappointed this bill
passed the Ohio House today. I did not support the bill and
will never support any iteration of the abortion
restrictions it contained. This is nothing more than a
blatant attack on half the state’s population. I shared my
personal story during session because I know how important
it is to protect an individual woman’s right to have an
abortion. Today’s vote was just plain wrong. These repeated
attacks are harmful to our state and do not live up to the
Ohio Promise. To young women across Ohio: pull your
petitions to run for office tomorrow.”
SB 23 became the most
extreme bill attacking a woman’s right to have an abortion
when signed into law last week by Gov. DeWine.
