"  A heads up for pro-choice women in Ohio: The state just shut down two more abortion clinics, with another clinic on the verge of being closed. With two other clinics getting the ax earlier this year, only nine remain in the entire state. The reason for these shutdowns? Well, under Ohio law, abortion clinics must have what&amp;#039;s called a transfer agreement with a local hospital. (A transfer agreement is a pact that says the hospital will accept an abortion patient if medical help is needed during or after the procedure.) However, a new law passed by the state legislature last summer actually bans public hospitals from entering into transfer agreements with abortion clinics. Which, obviously, prevents the clinics from complying with the previous law. (Basically, the government found a roundabout way to f*** women over.) The ACLU is in the process of challenging various abortion-related amendments but, until then, women in Ohio seeking a lawful abortion are going to have an even harder time getting one.
