NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.
On this weeks episode, we're listening in to a hearing of the Ohio Senate Health Committee. They held a 10 hour meeting on Wednesday (don't worry, our show is only 29 minutes!) that was mostly testimony on SCR 14, which would declare racism to be a public health crisis in Ohio.
Our excerpted audio from the hearing includes resolution sponsors Sen. Sandra Williams and Sen. Hearcel Craig. They receive questions from Sen. Nickie Antonio, Sen. Tina Maharath, and Sen. Cecile Thomas. We also have audio from Franklin County Commissioner Kevin Boyce, Columbus City Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson, and former state senator Charleta Tavares.
This hearing was not without additional controversy. Mid-way through the hearing, Sen. Steve Huffman referred to “the colored population” and questioned whether they get COVID-19 more often because they do not wash their hands as much. After this racist question was spread on social media, Sen. Huffman was fired from his day job — a physician at a Dayton-area hospital.

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.
On this weeks episode, our Executive Director Kellie Copeland addressed the current protests happening across the nation and our support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Then, we turn back to the legislature to hear from three members of the Ohio House of Representative and a policy proposal that could be a significant positive gain for pregnant people in Ohio.
Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson and Rep. Erica Crawley have introduced House Bill 611, which would provide Medicaid coverage for birthing doulas. Doula care is one way to ensure positive birthing outcomes, which is a key step in reducing the state's infant mortality crisis. Ohio's Black infant mortality rate is among the worst in the nation. Discussing the proposal with them is Rep. Kristin Boggs, who also values this proposal to help Black families.

On April 30, Lizz Winstead and her organization Abortion Access Front held a telethon on Instagram in support of independent abortion clinics. The effort has raised over $113,000, but there's still time for you to pitch in. Visit KeepOurClinics.org to donate and find more information.
For today's podcast, we have audio from excerpts courtesy of Abortion Access Front.
Find videos on their Facebook page.
Independent abortion clinics have always provided essential health care when and where patients need it, serving three out of every five patients in the U.S. each year who have an abortion. During this rapidly growing pandemic the need for access to our clinics is increasing on a daily basis.

This week, Gabe and Kellie discuss the latest on Ohio abortion clinics following a politically-motivated order from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Abortion care is an essential, time-sensitive medical situation that cannot be significantly delayed without profound consequences. To find a clinic, visit https://prochoiceohio.org/clinics
Also because of the current pandemic, the March 17 primary election has been extended. You now have until April 28 to mail in an absentee ballot if you have not yet voted. For information on voting by mail, visit http://myohiovote.com/
