If a client came into my office seeking assistance to obtain an abortion and I were a lawyer in Ohio, what
advice would I give my client? I would seek out the local doctors. If local doctors were unable to
find my client an abortion clinic, I would arrange for my client to be medically treated out of the state.
My client’s access to health care is essential to her life, it’s NOT a privacy issue.
Here is a list of organizations providing out of state abortion assistance:
Haven Coalition: Accommodation and Escorting: Volunteers provide a safe place to sleep the night
between appointments, dinner, and an escort to and from the clinic.
