LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — A southwest Ohio city became the first in the state Tuesday to enact a measure outlawing abortion and declaring itself “a sanctuary city for the unborn,” setting itself up for a likely legal challenge by opponents who call the ban unconstitutional.
The vote by Lebanon City Council was unanimous -- after one member quit in protest. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that that member, Krista Wyatt, said she could no longer associate her name with the body “as a respectable, decent human being.”
No abortion clinics are located in Lebanon and none are planned. Mayor Amy Brewer said the ordinance sends a signal that the community would not welcome such a facility. Abortion remains legal in Ohio and the rest of the country following a 1973 Supreme Court decision that women have a constitutional right to seek an abortion.

Just a couple miles up the road from me. I have friends there.
Good for Lebanon.

I’m in the wrong part of Ohio. Over my lifetime, my little suburb has changed from solidly Republican/conservative to hardcore Democrat. It saddens me, and if my grandkids weren’t close by, I’d move to a different city.
God bless them mightily!!! ;-)
It wasn't long the Scotus imposed fag marriage and idiotic transgender rulings, yet few stand in opposition to them.

OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Just a few miles down the road from me. What a wonderful, conservative community. So proud of them! Hoping this gets the ball rolling for other communities----especially Kettering/Dayton.
