Ohio Abortion Numbers at Lowest Since Roe v. Wade
On October 1, 2019, the Ohio Department of Health released the 2018 Ohio Abortion Report, revealing a decrease in the number of abortions last year. A total number of 20,425 abortions were performed in Ohio, representing a decrease of 2% from the previous year and a 31% decline over the last decade. This marks the lowest level since 1976, when record-keeping first began, and follows a national trend as abortions continue a steady decline nationwide to their lowest numbers since Roe vs. Wade was decided in 1973. Click HERE to see the full report and find out about how abortions by Scioto County residents have dropped by 47% since 2008.
