The Women's Med Center in Kettering will begin medical and surgical abortions starting next week. Earlier this week, a court order temporarily blocked Ohio's abortion ban, allowing the center to reopen. ACLU Ohio is representing the center and other abortion providers in Ohio, and last week the union filed a temporary restraining order in Hamilton County.
