COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – This week on The Spectrum:

• Nearly two years after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and with Ohio’s abortion rights amendment approved by voters, advocates on both sides said the battle is still far from over.

“We really have to make sure that that amendment, the Reproductive Freedom Amendments, doesn’t become just a piece of paper,” Abortion Forward’s Jamie Miracle said.

“I think it’s possible for truth to win out and I think the truth is a unique human life begins at the moment of fertilization,” Ohio Right To Life CEO Peter Range said.

What are the November elections they said could tip the scales.

• A new law to help the formerly incarcerated secure safe housing and keep them from going back to jail.

• Just days away from the first presidential debate and the candidates will have new rules to follow. Will their performance make any waves in the polls? Democratic strategist Dale Butland and Republican strategist Terry Casey weigh in.
