David C Young, the Franklin county common pleas judge, said the language of last year’s Issue 1 was “clear and unambiguous”. He found that attorneys for Preterm Cleveland and the other abortion clinics and physicians who had sued had clearly shown “that the challenged statutes burden, penalize, prohibit, interfere with, and discriminate against patients in exercising their right to an abortion and providers for assisting them in exercising that right”.
The challenged rules included a 24-hour waiting period requirement, the requirement for an in-person visit and several state mandates requiring those seeking abortions to receive certain information. Young said the provisions don’t advance patient health.

Anfang August waren wir wieder einmal, nach längerer Zeit, auf einem Ausflug. Ein Nachbar hatte uns eine Reisebusfirma empfohlen, mit der er auf Rügen war, und die nur einige Kilometer von uns entfernt ist. Dort bot man eine Tour nach Friedrichstadt in Norddeutschland an. Sie liegt in der Nähe der Norseeküste, etwas südlich von Husum. Obwohl ich mit meinen Eltern oft dort an der Küste an Wochenenden und in den Sommerferien gezeltet habe, habe ich noch nie etwas von dieser Stadt gehört.
… At the beginning of August, we have been on an excursion again, after a long break. A neighbour recommended a travel bus company, with which he was on Rügen, and which is not far from our home. They offered a tour to Friedrichstadt in the north of Germany. It is situated near the North Atlantic coast, a bit south of the town Husum. Although I had been at the coast there camping with my parents on weekends and during summer holidays, I had never heard of that town.

”Friedrichstadt wurde 1621 durch den gottorfschen Herzog Friedrich III. gegründet und ist heute ein hochrangiges Kulturdenkmal. Herzog Friedrich III. zielte auf die Errichtung einer Handelsmetropole und holte dazu niederländische Bürger, besonders die verfolgten Remonstranten, an den Ort und gewährte ihnen Religionsfreiheit. Infolge dieser Maßnahme siedelten sich auch Mitglieder vieler anderer Religionsgemeinschaften in Friedrichstadt an, so dass der Ort als „Stadt der Toleranz“ galt. Heute sind noch fünf Religionsgemeinschaften aktiv.
Die Bauten der niederländischen Backsteinrenaissance und Grachten prägen das Stadtbild des heute vor allem vom Tourismus lebenden „Holländerstädtchens“ mit knapp 2700 Einwohnern.”
(Quelle: Wikipedia)
„Friedrichstadt was founded in 1621 by Duke Friedrich III of Gottorf-Schleswig-Holstein, and is now a highranking cultural monument. Duke Friedrich III wished to create a trade metropolis and invited to that aim citizens from the Netherlands, especially the prosecuted Remonstants (Arminians) and granted them religious freedom. As a consequence, members of many other religious groups settled in Friedrichstadt, so that it was considered a „place of tolerance“. Today, five religious groups are still active.
The Dutch brick renaissance and the town canals are shaping the townscape of the „Dutch town“ with nearly 2700 inhabitants, which nowadays is living mainly of tourism.“
(Source: Wikipedia)

Der dänische Reisebegleiter nannte während der Grachtenrundfahrt „Kong Frederik“, daher dachte ich, dass er vielleicht Kaiser Friedrich II meinte, weil der auch tolerant gegenüber anderen Glaubensrichtungen war, aber das war ja erst 100 Jahre später.
… The Danish guide was talking about „Kong Frederik“ (King Friedrich), so that I thought he might mean Emperor Friedrich II, who also was tolerant towards different religious groups, but that was about 100 years later.
Die Stadt ist wunderschön mit seinen holländischen Häusern und den vielen Grachten, in der 5-6 verschiedene Religionen/Glaubensrichtungen nunmehr wieder friedlich zusammenleben. Wir haben natürlich eine Bootrundfahrt gemacht. Die Brücken sind an einigen Stellen so schmal, dass wir nur wenige Zentimeter auf beiden Seiten vom Boot zur Verfügung hatten. Die meisten Fotos habe ich auf dieser Rundfahrt gemacht. Wer sich für mehr Fotos interessiert, kann sie sich HIER ansehen.
… The town is beautiful with its Dutch houses and the many town canals, in which 5-6 different religions/religous groups are now again living together in peace. We took, of course, a round trip by boat. The bridges are so narrow in some places that there were only a few centimetres (2 inches maybe) were at the skippers disposal. I have taken most of the photos during the boat trip. Those who are interested in more photos, may take a look HERE.








Es gibt viele Liegeplätze für Boote entlang einiger Grachten, dort wo keine Häuser direkt am Wasser stehen. Auch hier richten sich viele gemütlich ein.
… There are many mooring places along some of the canals, where there aren’t any houses directly at the water front. Also here, people create cosy corners for themselves.

Wir schliessen mit zwei kleinen Kuriositäten ab.
… We close with two small curios.


Näheres über die Geschichte der Stadt könnt ihr HIER nachlesen. Wenn ihr an der Nordseeküste nach Dänemark hochfahrt, kommt ihr an Friedrichstadt vorbei.
… There is more information on the history of the town HERE, but, unfortunately, only in German. If you drive along the North Atlantic coast to Denmark, you will pass Friedrichstadt.

Over 20 years later, Julie and I were lucky enough to see her in concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Her performance was flawless, as good as listening to the CD and even better that we could watch her singing with such effortless skill.
Now 66, Anita is still working and recording.
