LEBANON, Ohio, July 27, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberty Union (ACLU) has raised an electronic billboard reminding citizens that abortion is legal in the state of Ohio, in a city that has been designated a sanctuary city for mothers and the unborn.
The sign is located in the city of Lebanon on Ohio 48 at Mason-Morrow-Milgrove Road, and reads: “ABORTION IS LEGAL IN ALL OF OHIO. ABORTION IS LEGAL IN OHIO.COM. PAID FOR BY THE ACLU OF OHIO FOUNDATION.”

ACLU raised the sign in response to Lebanon’s unanimous May 25 vote to ban all abortions in the city.

There are no abortion facilities in Lebanon, but the law would also apply to dispensing abortion pills by mail.
Physicians who violate the law would be punished with up to six months’ jail time and a $1,000 fine; pregnant women would not be charged.
