A look at four decades of Ohio laws to restrict and discourage abortions: Today in Ohio
CLEVELAND, Ohio — In the last four decades, the Ohio General Assembly has passed dozens of abortion restrictions.
We’re talking about a possible U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade and what it might mean here on Today in Ohio.

Here are the questions we’re answering today:
How many laws restricting or discouraging abortion has Ohio passed in the years since the Roe V Wade decision recognized a Constitutional right of women to have abortions, something that Justice Sam Alito and four of his fellow justices seem intent on taking away?
What has happened to Digital C, once viewed as Cleveland’s beacon for getting cheap broadband into the hands of the many?
Why won’t the marijuana legalization question be on the ballot in November?
Before the primary election earlier this month, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine seemed to refuse to discuss the idea of getting federal dollars for expanding Amtrak service, giving Cleveland a regular connection in-state and out-of-state.

What is Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb’s list of priorities for spending some of the city’s big windfall in federal American Rescue Plan dollars?
How does Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine want to use a big chunk of federal stimulus dollars to help some Ohioans who suffer from mental health and addiction issues?
Historic preservationists are besides themselves, but you have to credit the Cleveland Clinic for continuing to invest in the city. What’s the grand plan for the Cleveland Playhouse Complex that the clinic bought a few years back?
We talked last week about how police departments are using federal dollars to install surveillance cameras. How does Cleveland’s civilian police commission want police to proceed with such technology, with safeguards for privacy rights?
