Should Cleveland do the same?
CINCINNATI — In a direct response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval announced new city policies to ensure employees of the city and their families have access to what he called the"medical care they need."
City council will vote on the repeal Wednesday. If passed, Pureval said the city will change its health insurance plan to fully include abortion-related health services. Pureval said history will judge those responsible for this decision and had this message to say to the women of his city:In addition to the new legislation, Mayor Pureval said the city will implement a travel reimbursement policy for employees who have to leave the state to get health care services that aren't available in Ohio. Pureval also thanked one of the biggest employers in the city, Kroger, which announced similar services.
"It is not my job to make it easier for the state legislature and the governor to drag women in Ohio back to the 50s and strip their rights. It's my job to make that harder," Pureval said.
