Current Event: Abortion (Pro Choice)

http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2014/10/27/cincinnati-may-lose-sole-abortion-clinic/

     In the Cincinnati area, one of the only abortion clinics, that serve an estimated 2.1 million people, was cited by the Ohio Department of Health for not writing a transfer agreement with a local private hospital. Clinic officials stated that they had agreed on an exemption more than a year ago, but never heard back from the state. This event was published on October 27th, which means that this event was very recent- most likely within the past few days to a week.
     Soon enough, Cincinnati will become one of the largest areas in the country without an abortion provider. Because Republic Governer John Kasich wants to restrict abortion rights across the state, this causes a problem for the 2.1 million people that depend on the abortion clinic. If the women cannot obtain their needed services, that will raise many questions across the city. In my opinion, I women should have the right of whether or not they want an abortion, and what is happening in this situation is violating that right. Taking away this program would cause anger to the ones that are looking into having an abortion, but also raises the question of whether or not this action is justified.
