           On Eve of Government Shutdown Over Women's Health Funding,
                    Presidential Contenders Need to Weigh In

   "Right now, some members of Congress plan to shut down the entire
   Government in an attempt to cut off funding for women's reproductive
   health and wellbeing. These Members represent the most extreme elements of
   a movement intent on waging a war against all of America's women. We
   believe that it is time for the Presidential candidates on
   stage tonight to address and rebuke those Congressional members, and let
   them know that shutting down the government to deny our badly needed
   medical care is immoral and irresponsible," said Cliff Schecter, CEO of
   Majority Ohio.

   "Ohio's women and men rely on this federal funding. Title X funding has
   provided healthcare for nearly 69,000 women and nearly 10,000 men which
   have saved countless lives and prevented countless unintended pregnancies
   in 2013 alone, the last data publically available. In addition, our
   Governor, John Kasich will be on that stage knowing full well the
   importance of this funding to our state. It is critical that all
   candidates for President, regardless of party affiliation, take a moment
   to stand up for Ohio's women and against extreme attacks from Congress."
