The passage of the abortion ballot measure in Ohio earlier this month was not only a huge disappointment for the pro-life movement, it was also the latest example of the ever-growing threat from progressive ideologues who are after America’s children. Parents must ready themselves to guard against these continuing attacks, and taking a page from the playbook of religious-freedom advocates will help.
The amendment approved by voters to the state constitution of Ohio includes a grave and purposeful undermine of parental consent. Its language giving an “individual,” not an “adult,” rights to “carry out one’s own reproductive decisions” that include but are “not limited to” abortion opens the door to excluding parents from their minor children’s health-care procedures such as abortion or even sex-change surgeries.
