NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Endorses Ted Strickland for Governor
Cleveland, OH- NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, the state’s leading advocate for personal privacy and a woman’s right to choose, announced today its support of Congressman Ted Strickland for governor. Wendy Leatherberry, President of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio said “Ohioans deserve a governor who will maintain a woman’s right to safe, legal reproductive health choices, including abortion. Ted Strickland will be the kind of governor all women can depend upon.” “With the future of Roe v. Wade hanging tenuously in the balance of an uncertain U.S. Supreme Court, the battle for a woman’s right to choose is in the states. NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio is pleased to endorse a candidate that we believe is not only the best choice for women, but the best choice for all Ohioans.” Like NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, Congressman Strickland believes abortion should be safe, legal, and rare. He has, and will continue to, support policies that include contraceptive equity, access to contraceptives, and comprehensive, medically accurate sex education as ways to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion. Congressman Strickland expressed appreciation for the endorsement, reiterating his commitment to be Ohio’s first pro-choice governor in sixteen years. “I am pleased to be able to work with NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio to enhance access to reproductive health care services Ohioans need and deserve.” “As governor,” Congressman Strickland said, “I would veto any legislation to further restrict access to reproductive health care including abortion.”
