Ohio Right to Life Seeks Meeting with School Administration
Editor’s note. The following is excerpted from a post written by Ohio Right to Life, NRLC’s state affiliate.

COLUMBUS, Ohio–Today, Ohio Right to Life delivered a letter to The Ohio State Univerisity, requesting a meeting with the president, Michael Drake, and the Dean of Moritz College of Law, Alan Michaels.
The letter comes in light of ongoing threats made to a second-year law student, Madison Gesiotto, regarding an article she recently wrote for The Washington Times. The article, which discusses the disproportionate number of African American babies who are aborted, has been the subject of much hostility on campus and online. Upon receiving the threat, Ms. Gesiotto requested a meeting with Michaels. Ms. Gesiotto reports that the focus of the meeting was on the content of her work rather than the threat made against her.
The goal of Ohio Right to Life’s letter to President Drake and Dean Michaels is to arrange a meeting to discuss how students’ rights can be secured on campus. According to Ms. Gesiotto, Dean Michaels and two other deans met with her in October, not to discuss the threat made against her, but to address the following:
- To critique the content of her article on the disparity in abortions among African Americans
- To recommend she remove from her online biography her position as a staff editor of the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law
- To urge Ms. Gesiotto to participate in a “facilitated discussion” with those opposing her work
