With all the shiz happening in Ohio, Julie checks in with NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Statewide Field Organizer, Kelley Freeman. They chat about the two major bans that were passed an awaiting Gov. Kasich's passing into law or veto. He must have known we were talking about him because while we were recording he did what he's been known to do in the past, sign one and veto the other.

Just remember: ***Do NOT mail gifts directly to the clinic yourself*** because clinics don't accept packages from people they don't know. Why? Oh right, it's because when they get suspicious packages they have to contact the police because they could contain bombs. I wish I was kidding.
