The Ohio Department of Health has just released the â?oOhio Induced Abortions in Ohioâ? report for 2006. Ohio Right to Life continues to have an impact on lowering the numbers of abortions. Since 1998 when Ohio Right to Life introduced their new strategy to reduce the numbers of abortions in Ohio, induced abortions have decreased by 12.1% (3.5% from 2005)! Although we have experienced great success, there is still much work to do in order to end all abortions in Ohio.

Ohio Right to Life is currently analyzing the information contained in the report in order to compare and contrast historical trends. Ohio Right to Life is also awaiting further zip code information from the Ohio Department of Health. The final analysis will be released in a later emailing. The entire report is now available on the Ohio Right to Life website at: http://www.ohiolife.org/resources/Documents/2006_DOH_Abortion_Report.pdf
