2021 Ohio Abortion ReportOn September 30, 2022, the Ohio Department of Health released the 2021 Ohio Induced Abortion Report, revealing a substantial increase in the number of abortions since 2020. A total of 21,813 abortions were reported, up from 20,605 in 2020.
Abortions were overwhelmingly performed on Black women, with that demographic undergoing 43.3% percent of all abortions in Ohio. For reference, Black Ohioans comprise 12.4% of Ohio’s total population. The report shows that abortions in Summit County alone have nearly doubled over the course of two years. In 2019, Summit County performed 1,899 abortions, compared to 2021 where there were a startling 3,551. Due the fact that over 60% of abortions performed in 2021 were before nine weeks of pregnancy, Ohio Right to Life expects the numbers during 2022 will have decreased substantially due to Ohio’s Heartbeat Law being in effect from June 24, 2022 to September 14, 2022. There were 34 Scioto County pre-born babies aborted in 2021 compared to 33 in 2020 and 26 in 2019. To put this in perspective, the Sandy Hook school shooter killed 20 children and six staff members. In Uvalde earlier this year, 19 students and two teachers were killed, and 17 were wounded. To read the 2021 Ohio Abortion Report, click on the cover below.
