Abortion Radicalism Has No Place in Ohio’s Constitution

While wealthy out-of-state groups are working to enshrine a proposed abortion amendment in our constitution, they do not represent the vast majority of Ohioans.

A proposed constitutional amendment that would legalize abortion up to birth in Ohio is one step closer to appearing on the November 2023 general-election ballot. On March 2, Ohio attorney general Dave Yost deemed that the language in the petition — which was filed by a group of radical pro-abortion advocates that includes Planned Parenthood, Pro-Choice Ohio, the Abortion Fund of Ohio, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio — is “fair and truthful.”

Then on Monday, the Ohio Ballot Board certified that the ballot language in the proposal from Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom contained only one proposal. Now, having cleared the last requirement, the abortion cabal will have until July 5 to collect and submit approximately 413,000 registered Ohio voters’ signatures to put the issue before voters in November.
