About This Cause
Abortion Forward Alliance's programs serve Ohioans of reproductive age with a special emphasis on improving access to reproductive health care services and education to youth and the underserved. These programs include: Original Research: Abortion Forward Alliance identifies barriers to reproductive health care and finds solutions. We publish an annual State of Choice in Ohio report that compiles statistics from several sources into one, comprehensive analysis of the state of abortion access and reproductive health in our state. We have conducted investigations into the practices of "crisis pregnancy centers," as well as examining the availability of emergency contraception (EC) in hospital emergency rooms and pharmacies around the state. Both of these investigations directed legislative policy initiatives now being considered in the Ohio General Assembly. Education: Abortion Forward Alliance produces and distributes educational materials, including fact sheets, daily press clips on our issues, and both a blog and podcast. These materials are created for a variety of audiences, from youth to adults, members of the general public and members of the media and legislature. Most of these materials are also available on the web at www.Abortionforward.org. This website is shared with our partner 501(c)(4) organization, Abortion Forward. Internship Program: We host high school, undergraduate and graduate-level interns during every semester of the school year. Internships are available on a variety of topics, including health policy, fundraising, communications, research and general advocacy. Coalition building: Abortion Forward Alliance works in partnership with other organizations committed to preserving and expanding reproductive rights and abortion access. In Toledo, we have convened several stakeholders into the "Keep Abortion Safe and Legal In Toledo" coalition, which is focused on preserving abortion access in Northwest Ohio by increasing public support for Toledo's last abortion provider. Through earned media events, letters to the editor, editorial board engagement campaigns, and public education, our staff and volunteers are building a movement for change in Ohio.
