The program will provide free counsel, help with judicial bypasses, and more
The Abortion Fund of Ohio today launched the Legal Access Program to provide free and confidential legal advice and case management, connect people with pro-bono counsel and help minors who want to seek abortions without parental permission, among other comprehensive offerings.
“Ohioans’ right to make unfettered reproductive decisions is once again on the line,” said interim executive director Maggie Scotece. “While our coalition works concurrently to secure explicit abortion access in Ohio’s constitution, we’re preparing to defend our communities from the senseless attacks from prosecutors and legislators alike.
In addition to criminalization, people seeking abortions face barriers like transportation, cost, language and — as data shows that most people seeking abortions already have children — childcare. Mitchelle says these burdens fall disproportionately on minorities, people with disabilities, undocumented people, incarcerated people and the LGBTQ community.
A report by If/When/How, a non-profit network of law professionals and students focused on reproductive rights and justice, found 61 cases between 2000 and 2020 of people investigated or arrested for self-managed abortions — that is, abortions outside the medical system.
