TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo's last abortion clinic is a topic that draws strong opinions.
So much so that clinic supporters are looking at a plan some say will protect patients.
Capital Care Clinic has workers dedicated to safely escorting patients inside. Those employees say the safety ordinance is needed to keep people from being harassed.
Pro-life protesters argue it hurts their ability to try and counsel people before they go inside.
