text: As much as I like and respect Gov. Kasich, I see this bill as one more convoluted and politically determined compromise.  No where do I find included the facts from a recent CDC study that continues to show a steady decline in abortions to the lowest level in decades as of 2013.  Using data from federal health agencies in 47 states, the latest number is (for 2013) 12.5 pregnancy terminations per one thousand women ages 15 to 44 years.  By contract that number is down 5% from 2012, and HALF the rate from 1980.  The  Church must be the point of pro-life dialogue and not trying to dictate social policy.  Of course, the foolish prohibition against birth control only serves to diminish our prophetic voice and create the consequence of many women getting pregnant and then needing to obtain an abortion, all when it could have been avoided (and don't enter the argument of abstaining from sex here, as it is  ridiculous position).  Most women in the world are not Catholic.
