Abortion is still under threat by dark money groups that helped overturn Roe

An Ohio election ballot, if passed, would safeguard abortion access – but groups tied to anti-abortion figures like Leonard Leo are trying to influence the outcome

The fight for abortion access in the US continues to be threatened by the same dark-money, anti-abortion operatives that helped overturn Roe v Wade. Chief among them is the Leonard Leo-affiliated group Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA-PLA) and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

One of the fiercest fights is currently focused on an amendment at the center of a November Ohio election ballot, that, if passed, would safeguard abortion access by enshrining reproductive rights in the state’s constitution.
