"House Bill 324 is in direct conflict with the Ohio Constitution because it seeks to use junk science to override widely accepted, evidence-based standards of care," said Jaime Miracle, deputy director of Abortion Forward, which helped pass the 2023 measure.
Ohio bill targeting abortion pill could impact other prescriptions
A Republican-backed bill aimed at reducing access to abortion pills could make it harder to buy other prescription drugs, too.

“This legislature wants to endorse misinformation," said Jaime Miracle of Abortion Forward. "This legislature is using a completely debunked study on mifepristone to attack access to the medication."

"Why should a parent have to opt out of something that is medically accurate and sound?" Rep. @robinsonforoh.bsky.social is absolutely destroying the bill sponsor's argument for pushing this propaganda on students!

"It's not medically accurate." - Rep. @robinsonforoh.bsky.social is dismantling the terrible ideas included in House Bill 485. He's sharing his experience as a parent with a child taking sex education classes in school and how the bill neglects educational need.

"There are too many legislators in this room obsessed with regulating a woman and her vagina." — Rep. @desireetims.bsky.social
abortionforward.bsky.social Abortion Forward @abortionforward.bsky.social · 6d
Rep. @desireetims.bsky.social reminds the House that Ohio voters clearly spoke in support of reproductive freedom in 2023, and that House Bill 324 is unconstitutional as it violates the Ohio Reproductive Freedom Amendment.

Friendly reminder to Ohio legislators that when you are recognized to speak by the House Speaker, you do not have to also ask for "permission to speak to the bill."
You were recognized.
You have the floor.
Just #@$%ing speak!

‼️ Bad things are brewing at the Statehouse. From attacks on abortion to undermining democracy and voting, these bills would strip Ohioans of rights we've all fought so hard for.

Find your member of the Ohio House at AbortionForward.org/OHLeg and call them immediately! House session starts at 2PM.
Simple graphic with offblack background, white text with orange highlights. Details 3 bad bills moving through the Ohio Statehouse: House Bill 485 would force Ohio students to watch anti-abortion propaganda created by well known extremist group Live Action. House Bill 324 would classify mifepristone as a dangerous medication. Senate Bill 293 now includes the SAVE Act, which would overhaul Ohio's voter registration process, making voting more difficult.

HB 485 is censorship disguised as education. Young people will always deserve unbiased, inclusive, and comprehensive sex education free from stigma and shame.

It's Trans Awareness Week 🫶🏽 But what exactly does that mean for the trans community and their allies, and how do we celebrate it? ➡️

Graphic with purple to dark teal gradient. White text with light teal highlighting for emphasis reads: "It's Trans Awareness Week. Here's what that means:" Graphic with purple to dark teal gradient. White text reads: "What is Trans Awareness Week? Recognized yearly from November 13-19, Trans Awareness Week was created to celebrate how far we've come in the fight for trans liberation, and highlight areas where there’s still plenty of work to do. The following day, November 20, we recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance and honor, grieve, & uplift victims of transphobic violence." Graphic with purple to dark teal gradient. White text reads: "How many trans Ohioans are there? According to research conducted by the Williams Institute, there are anywhere from 59,000 to 100,000 trans Ohioans. That's roughly 1% of the state population, but our gerrymandered & brainrotted legislature has introduced more than 20 anti-trans & anti-LGBTQ+ bills in the past two years. From trying to ban drag, to overhauling the public education curriculum to be even more heteronormative, to successfully gutting gender-affirming care for trans youth, there is no stone the GOP will leave unturned in their quest to legislate trans identities out of existence. But trans people have always existed, and will continue to exist long after these legislators are voted out of office." Graphic with purple to dark teal gradient. White text with light teal highlighting for emphasis reads: "Trans Ohioans are loved & supported. There are several orgs in Ohio that center, uplift, & vocally support trans folks and their needs. You can find an in-depth list on our website or by scanning the QR code but here are a just a few of our favorites: Statewide: Buckeye Flame Equitas Health PFLAG Trans Lifeline Trans Ohio Northern Ohio: Bayard Rustin Center Cleveland LGBT Center Haus of Transcendence Central & Southern Ohio: BQIC Have A Gay Day Pantry Inclusive Fairborn Kaleidoscope Youth Center"

Danielle: "Ohio’s bill is also unique because it allows the Attorney General to sue a district or school for injunctive relief and damages, further usurping control away from districts and subjecting them to costly lawsuits if they don’t comply.”

Next witness is our own @jmiracleoh.bsky.social: Public schools are not a place to make religious assertions out to be fact, nor a battleground for the political ends the adults who are supposed to protect our children’s education decide to take up."
