It鈥檚 been 43 years since the landmark Roe vs Wade US Supreme Court decision legalized abortion. Yet it remains a contentious issue in the Ohio legislature.
CecileRichards with Planned Parenthood of America says the future of abortion rights hangs in the balance.
鈥淭here鈥檚 never been, I think, an election in which Roe of more clearly on the ballot.鈥�
Stephanie Krider with Ohio Right to Life is fighting to make abortion illegal.
鈥淭his is not the character of our country. It鈥檚 not who we want to be and so you鈥檝e seen some push back against that, I think.鈥�
