Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Terry Williams tackle the latest abortion ban proposed in the Ohio General Assembly and give a rundown of the real reasons that extremist politicians keep putting forward bills that try to ban abortion in Ohio. With special attention to Senate Bill 123 (the so-called “Trigger Ban”), Kelley and Terry talk about class solidarity, the legislature’s stigmatizing assault on reproductive freedom, and the cult-like religious roots of this harmful, anti-Ohioan crusade against abortion.
