When Annie Boyle picked up the phone, the woman at the other end of the line wanted to know: what’s going on with Ohio’s abortion referendum?
As a patient advocate at Preterm, a sprawling abortion clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, Boyle is used to confusion over Ohio’s six-week abortion ban, which took effect shortly after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, but is now on hold. “I’m old, I don’t need an abortion,” the woman on the phone said, but she sounded disturbed by the ban.
