Ohio: Stand against Abortion Radicalism

Last fall, I witnessed thousands of Ohioans gathered in Columbus to march for life and advocate for women and children. These residents came from all walks of life. Many traveled from hours away. They showed unwavering love and support for their state’s most vulnerable and urged their elected representatives to advance protections for them.

Unfortunately, these Ohioans’ values are now under attack by wealthy, extremist, out-of-state special-interest groups seeking to enshrine a dangerous and radical abortion amendment in the state constitution. The abortion industry’s proposed amendment, which is out of touch with the mainstream, would virtually erase any existing or future protections for mothers and children. This November, assuming abortion proponents get enough signatures, Ohioans will be voting on whether to incorporate this radical abortion agenda into their state constitution. That means a 50 percent-plus-one majority could expand and entrench abortion as effectively permanent state law, beyond the reach of state legislators.
