Ohio Right to Life Mourns Loss
of Over 25,000 Babies in 2025
|
The release of Ohio Department of Health’s Induced Abortions in Ohio 2025 Report is a tragic demonstration that the removal of protections for babies and their mothers in Ohio has real-world consequences. The report shows that in Ohio in 2025, there were 25,135 children who died by abortion. Of this number, 79.1% of abortions were done on Ohio residents and over 20% were on women from out of state—the highest ever number of babies taken by abortion tourism.
“We worked so hard to inform the voters of Ohio that adding an amendment to expand abortion would be devastating to Ohio. We are just now beginning to see that truth. The equivalent of an entire city is being lost to abortion every year, and |

the numbers are growing,” said Carrie Snyder, Executive Director of Ohio Right to Life. “The individual and cumulative magnitude of these statistics should not be overlooked.”
Also noteworthy in the report is that of the abortions done on Ohio women, nearly half of those ended the lives of black babies, while black women are just 12% of the female population in Ohio. Margaret Sanger, a well-known white supremacist and eugenicist and the founder of Planned Parenthood, would be proud of the work Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics are doing to eliminate minorities across Ohio.
It’s also clear that abortion is being used as birth control: 41% of women had at least one prior abortion, and nearly 10% of the abortions done were on women who already had 3 or more abortions.
Nearly 300 babies were 20 weeks or older in gestational age when they were aborted. Only .4% of abortions or 101 times, was an abortion reportedly done due to a medical emergency, defined as preventing the death of or serious and irreversible harm to the mother. Over 60% of abortions were drug-induced rather than surgical, which carries a four times greater chance of ending up in an emergency room than surgical abortion. Both methods are deadly for the baby, but chemical abortions are far more dangerous for their mothers.
Snyder continues, “Clearly thousands of people who voted yes on the abortion amendment because they believed the lie that it was needed for miscarriage care would never support the current status allowing late-term abortion and the stripping away of more and more safeguards and informed consent for women. The assertion that voters approve of abortion at all times, for any reason, is silly no matter how many times the pro-abortion lobby and their friends in the media repeat it.”
Ohio Right to Life continues to advocate for the smallest and most vulnerable people in Ohio and will partner with pregnancy centers and legislators across the state until every life has the legal protection it deserves. (Ohio Right to Life Press Release,
