Study: Ohio ranks 48th in terms of access to contraceptives
TweetCOLUMBUS — About half of the births in Ohio are the result of unintended pregnancies, further proof of the state’s lagging policies on family planning, according to a study released today.
The Coalition for Family Health also said Ohio ranks 48th among states and the District of Columbia in terms of access to contraceptives.
“Ohio is among the worst states in the nation in terms of access to family planning,” said Judi Wolf, the Ohio public affairs chairwoman for the National Council of Jewish Women. “We spend less — significantly less — on making resources available than so many other states.”
The coalition has about 30 member organizations from across the state, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Association of University Women, the Public Children’s Services Association of Ohio and Planned Parenthood.
Comments
Maybe this explains why there are so many more idiots walking around Ohio the past few election cycles. HA!
But Youngstown does Rank 1st in "shooting up" homes. Can't be first in everything!
"The lefto pubic school system and the lefto NEA isn't reaching the young people; even when they instruct them how to put condoms on bananas"
This doesn't really happen in most Ohio schools. Check out the health curriculum, (or the lack of one) from the state. Keep painting in those broad strokes without any real knowledge of what's actually happening.
