Where I live is about to pass restrictive abortion law with amendments attached to our BUDGET of all things. Defunding PP, requirements for ultrasound and claiming life begins when sperm meets egg is all attached to the budget the Gov must sign by Sunday night.

I know some people think Ohio is BFE but I live in the suburbs of Cleveland-not a rural area and much as our purple color suggests, we have a wide demographic here. But I'm just floored by the men in our Republican controlled house that added amendments without debates (none!) to take my state back in women's rights until before I was born!
