2022 OH Governor's race: on Abortion


John Cranley: Personally opposes abortion but is pro-choice

Although Cranley, a Roman Catholic, personally opposes abortion, he doesn't think government should pass restrictions on the procedure that spark expensive, often unsuccessful, legal battles because "it's just not a good use of scarce resources."

"I'm pro-choice. I've struggled as a matter of faith," said Cranley, who supports same-sex marriage.

Mike DeWine: Deflects questions about abortion during pandemic

The issue has become a political hot potato as DeWine and Attorney General David Yost seem to have conflicting views on whose role it is to settle the issue. When Health Director Amy Acton was asked about abortions, DeWine interjected and said the issue was being addressed by "lawyers" and Yost's office. Earlier, Yost's office said whether clinics are in violation of Acton's order will be decided by the health department and, if so, the attorney general would then take legal action.
