TOLEDO, Ohio — June marks two years since Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade, taking away a woman's right to an abortion, and some feel abortion rights across the country are endangered by the Dobbs decision.
Dozens of people held signs and rallied outside the Lucas County Shared Services building in west Toledo Sunday to mark two years since the Supreme Court decision.
State Rep. Michele Grim (D, Toledo) joined those rallying and said the battle for reproductive rights is still ongoing.
"The fight isn't over. That's why we're still out here, still fighting for reproductive rights and reproductive justice," said Grim.
Back in November 2023, voters passed a constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights in Ohio. But according to Grim, all of her concerns with abortion access haven't been addressed.
"It's protected by the constitution there, but the legislature didn't put in protections for IVF," Grim said. "We're seeing threats to contraceptive access. So the fight isn't over."
On the other end of the spectrum, pro-life advocates feel that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was a big win for their cause.
"Above all in the Republican Party, we will always support families, babies, life and, very, very important to the Republican Party," former President Donald Trump said at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's 2024 Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C. Saturday.
And even two years later, Roe v. Wade is still a big topic with individual states having the right to pass laws for or against abortion access.
"Over time, it will all work out. It's working out right now, but it's all gonna work out and it's where everybody wanted it, including the legal scholars," Trump said. "But it's where everybody wanted it to be."
