Abortion activists on both sides of the debate are reacting to the anniversary of Ohio's first "sanctuary city for the unborn.""We had this idea come up. And we thought it was the right thing to do," Adam Mathews said, recalling conversations that spurred Lebanon council members to pass an ordinance one year ago, making abortion illegal in the city."Overall, we have been receiving overwhelming support."Mathews is Lebanon's vice mayor. He's also running for an Ohio House seat.He called the decision to become Ohio's first "sanctuary city for the unborn" a blessing."We've had great growth, business growth — 14 percent over (2020), 7 percent over 2019. We've had developers come in and thank us for being pro-family, pro-life," Mathews said.But Leslie Nahgyan, chair of Planned Parenthood's action council of Warren County, said the abortion ban is not representative of all the people who call Lebanon home."We want to remind council that this ban is an example of overreach," Nahigyan said. "The entire city is not pro-life or conservative."Nahigyan and other abortion-rights advocates plan to rally in front of the Lebanon City Hall Tuesday night to voice their opposition to the ordinance."It worries me — I'm also a nurse — that bans like this serve to confuse people who may be seeking abortion or other health care services. And that might lead them to make some choices that aren't safe," Nahigyan said.The ordinance was largely symbolic because Lebanon does not have any clinics where abortions are performed.Mathews said, so far, the abortion ban "has not been enforced on any individual."He and his fellow council members will meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. Mathews said, during the meeting, city leaders will declare Wednesday as "Pro-Life Day" in Lebanon.
