Abortion in Cincinnati

 

Indiana referral service for women in need too ‘controversial’ for city buses

4/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, a non-profit legal organization, filed a federal lawsuit Monday against the city of Fort Wayne’s public transportation company for refusing to accept an ad from a pro-life health care referral service for women in need. Citilink denied Women’s Health Link’s request simply because its website contains information on “controversial issues,” the city-run company says. 

“No one deserves to be silenced simply for having a viewpoint that city officials don’t favor,” said Litigation Counsel Rory Gray. “When the city creates an opportunity for community advertising, it cannot single out pro-life organizations for censorship. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech for all people, regardless of their political or religious beliefs.”

Women’s Health Link is a free referral resource for women seeking physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental health care. Last October, Women’s Health Link asked to place 
advertising cards in the interior of Citlink’s buses that contained a picture of a young woman and the tagline “You’re Not Alone” along with the center’s contact information.

Citilink denied the requests twice because Women’s Health Link is associated with Allen County Right to Life, a pro-life organization, and because Citilink officials said that the Women’s Health Link website discusses “controversial issues.” Citilink has permitted many non-profit and government organizations to place public service announcements with various messages in the interior of their buses, including the state of Indiana, Parkview Health, and the United Way.

The complaint filed in 
Women’s Health Link v. Fort Wayne Public Transportation Corp. with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division, explains that Citilink’s advertising policies give “officials unbridled discretion to accept or reject private expression protected by the First Amendment.” The policies violate Women’s Health Link’s “fundamental rights, including its right to freedom of speech and freedom of association,” the complaint states.

“The city’s stated reasons for denying this ad do not pass constitutional muster,” added Senior Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco. “We hope Citilink will change course by permitting our client’s advertisement and revising its policies so that everyone can exercise their constitutionally protected freedoms.”

Cincinnati area attorneys call judge's decision judicial activism

2/24/2014

At a well-attended press conference, Greater Cincinnati attorneys Tom Condit, Brian Hurley, and James Urling; attorney and former Ohio State Representative Mike Gilb; and Rev. Arnold Culbreath, Urban Outreach Director, Protecting Black Life provided analysis and related issues of concern regarding Judge Jerome Metz’ stay of execution granted to the Lebanon Road Surgery Center (Women’s Med Center) abortion clinic in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Women’s Med Center abortion facility has been operating outside the law for months, without a written transfer agreement or variance (legal exception) to cover patient emergencies.

Judge Metz’ stay protects the business interests of late term abortionist Martin Haskell by permitting the Women’s Med Center to remain open during the appeal of an Ohio Department of Health order to close, due to noncompliance with preventive patient health and safety policies required by all other ambulatory surgical facilities in the state.

Participating attorneys said that in this case judicial activism was protecting abortion and abortionists at every level of government, despite established law.

"Aside from the atrocities of abortion," said attorney Tom Condit. "All the abortion 'rights' have really come from a rogue decision. That’s not the rule of law in America... that’s Roe v. Wade."

Rev. Culbreath explained what he sees as the abortion industry’s targeting of minority women and their unborn babies, including statistics in Hamilton County, home of the Women’s Med Center and Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio.

"According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention," he said. "In 2008 there were 289,072 black deaths from all causes excluding surgical abortions, and in that same year of 2008 surgical abortions claimed the lives of 360,000 black babies."

Ohio abortion clinic becomes issue in governor's race

Standard of the Governor of Ohio
Abortion rights and women’s health will rank as key issues in the 2014 election, Ohio’s Democratic candidates for statewide office said Wednesday, because of Republicans’ efforts to pass several abortion-related laws last year.

“Unfortunately, it keeps getting tougher and tougher and tougher for women to avail themselves of rights that they believed they were entitled to,” Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald told reporters. “So I think it’s putting the issue front and center. ... I can’t think of a health care restriction that has been proposed or supported by Gov. (John) Kasich that specifically targets or affects men.”

Anti-abortion and Republican leaders say Ohioans support the restrictions. They say Democrats will lose support over their stance on abortion, especially among rural and moderate voters.

Hundreds of Abortion Opponents to Gather at 9/7 Rally Celebrating Historic Abortion Center Closure

Hundreds of Abortion Opponents to Gather at 9/7 Rally Celebrating Historic Abortion Center Closure
Hundreds of people from as far away as Australia are gathering in Aggieland on Saturday to celebrate the closure of the controversial Planned Parenthood abortion center in Bryan, Texas. 

"More than 6,400 innocent Brazos Valley children were killed at this facility," said David Bereit, national director of 40 Days for Life. "Tomorrow's rally, which we're calling 'Breakthrough,' marks what many people see as a tipping point in the national struggle to end abortion."

The Planned Parenthood abortion facility gained worldwide notoriety as the place where former abortion center director and Planned Parenthood employee of the year Abby Johnson quit her job and became an outspoken pro-life advocate.

It was also the site of the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in 2004, an effort that has since grown into a worldwide pro-life mobilization of 575,000 volunteers in 501 cities around the globe; those volunteers have witnessed 7,536 babies saved from abortion, 39 abortion centers closed, and 83 workers quitting their jobs in the abortion industry.

Tensions Mount as Pro-Life Campaign Comes To Sharonville, OH

10/25/2011

0 Comments

 
The Women's Med Center, operated by Martin Haskell, a late-term abortionist known nationwide for his partial-birth abortion technique, moved his Cincinnati location to Sharonville, a suburb of Cincinnati, last year. Since that time controversy has erupted in the local community and Greater Cincinnati as residence realized that the generic-looking medical building set in a secluded area off of Lebanon Rd. in Sharonville was an abortion facility.

Haskell and his associates are now being met with a 40 day long, constant reminder of the opposition to the clinic. This fall, September 28 - November 6, members of the local community are taking part in a national pro-life campaign, 40 Days for Life.
