Ohio voters should not be fooled by Tim Ryan’s third-trimester abortion limit

Congressman Tim Ryan, now running for a Senate seat from Ohio, recently came out in support of the smallest of limits on abortion — a prohibition in the third trimester. Ryan is taking this position because he is in a tight race against the pro-life Republican candidate J.D. Vance. Ryan hopes to pick off enough moderate and independent voters to win. But Ohio voters should not be fooled.

Ryan was once a pro-life congressman but switched positions in 2016. By 2018, he was criticizing pregnancy resource centers that offer free counseling, diapers, and other support to pregnant women as “fake health centers” and lambasted the Supreme Court for not requiring them to promote abortions.
