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.

INDUCED ABORTIONS IN OHIO IN 2025
2025 STATISTICS ON INDUCED ABORTIONS IN OHIO
Reported March 1, 2026 by the Ohio Department of Health
Excerpts below are from the full report at this website: https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/odh.ohio.gov/programs/vital-statistics/abortion-reports/induced-abortions-in-ohio-2025.pdf
The 2025 Induced Abortions in Ohio Report presents information derived from both the “Confidential Abortion Report” and “Post-Abortion Care Report for Complications” in Ohio (see Appendices I and II in the website above). Readers should note that abortion statistics in this report are limited to terminations occurring in Ohio; they do not include Ohio residents who obtained abortions outside the state.
A total of 25,135 induced pregnancy terminations were reported in Ohio for 2025, including 19,892 obtained by Ohio resident women (79.1%). This represents a 15% increase in induced pregnancy terminations from 2024 to 2025, primarily due to telehealth prescriptions provided to Ohio residents. Beginning this year, the Ohio Department of Health was required to submit the public report by March 1st (in previous years the report was not available until September). This report includes the most accurate information available.​​
-
Approximately 32.8% of women who obtained abortions in 2025 were 18 to 24 years old.
-
Approximately 69.6% of women who obtained abortions in Ohio were never married, divorced, or widowed.
-
Of all resident women who obtained abortions and for whom race was reported, approximately 48.9% were Black, 42.3% were White, and 3.6% were Asian/Pacific Islander; 4.8% reported more than one race.
-
Nearly three quarters (73%), of all induced abortions in 2025 involved pregnancies of less than nine weeks, with 17.9% involving pregnancies of nine to 12 weeks.
-
There were 293 abortions in 2025 involving pregnancies of 20 or more completed weeks of gestation.
-
The abortion reporting form requests methods used to determine gestational age; ultrasound was used in 72.1% of cases.
-
Most reported abortions were obtained in six major metropolitan areas of Ohio or via telehealth prescription provided to Ohio residents.
-
Curettage (SURGICAL) was the method used in 34.7% of terminations in 2025. That method has decreased since 2001, when 87% of terminations were by curettage.
-
Mifepristone (PILL ABORTION) was reported as the medication for nonsurgical termination for 14,866 abortions (59.1%), followed by 2,668 terminations using Misoprosto (PILL ABORTON) and 20 terminations using Methotrexate (PILL ABORTION)
