NEWS - SEPTEMBER 20, 2025
Tiffin, Ohio holds an Annual Heritage Festival, including a parade and family activities. Today's parade was a wonderful event. Here are a few images of the float sponsored by Tiffin Right to Life this year. As in the past, our float again featured local families who value the lives of all -- "from the womb to the tomb. Tiffin Right to Life especially celebrates life and family as evidenced by the large banner on the back of our float, "Families Are Our Future."​
Thanks to the Knights of Columbus #608, who followed our float today and have been very supportive of life.

Excerpts from the 2024 Ohio Report are below.
A total of 21,829 induced pregnancy terminations were reported in Ohio for 2024, a slight drop (171)
from 2023. This includes 18,696 obtained by Ohio resident women (86%).
Approximately 8.5% of women who obtained abortions in 2024 were under 20 years of age, with another 28.3% aged 20-24.
Approximately 12.3% of women who obtained abortions in Ohio were married or separated.
Of all resident women who obtained abortions and for whom race was reported, approximately 48.9% were Black; 42.4% were White; 3.3% were Asian/Pacific Islander; and 5.1% reported more than one race.
Of women with known ethnicity who obtained abortions, 8.9% were of Hispanic origin.
The 2024 Ohio resident abortion ratio was 147 abortions per 1,000 live births, a decrease from the 151 ratio in 2023.
​
More than half of all induced abortions in 2024 involved pregnancies of less than nine weeks (64.6%), with approximately 23.2% involving pregnancies of nine to 12 weeks. There were 477 abortions in 2024 involving pregnancies of 19 or more completed weeks of gestation. That represents a slight increase from the 476 reported in 2023.
​
Curettage (surgical) was the method used in 45.1% of terminations in 2024. That method has decreased since 2001 when 87% of terminations were by curettage. Mifepristone was reported as the medication for nonsurgical termination (pill abortion) for 10,107 abortions (46.3%), followed by 3,630 terminations using Misoprostol (pill abortion), and five terminations using Methotrexate (pill abortion).

Tiffin RTL comment: An unplanned pregnancy
does not need to mean an unwanted baby.
If you discovered you are pregnant and didn't intend to be, don't panic. Help is available from local crisis pregnancy centers.
Check the "Resources" page of our website for a link to find help. Pro-life advocates speak with mothers carrying an unplanned child and can help them find resources to assist them in caring for their child, assist with parenting classes, help locate other resources available to help raise their child -- or to help them contact an agency who can assist them in making an adoption plan for their baby.​
