Abortion is a hot-button topic nationwide, and in Ohio, a proposed amendment that would establish an “individual right to one’s own reproductive medical treatment including but not limited to abortion” has generated tension from people on both sides as the issue will be decided on Nov. 7.

Ohio’s Issue 1, the “Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including Abortion Initiative,” will add abortion rights to the state constitution if approved.
