COLUMBUS—The so-called Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom, 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 (ACLU) of Ohio, today unveiled the language of their ballot initiative to enshrine abortion into the Ohio Constitution in the November General Election.

In addition to allowing abortions well after babies have heartbeats and feel pain, the measure would overturn Ohio's parental notification law when a minor seeks an abortion and eliminate the legal requirement for abortionists to follow basic hospital health and safety standards.

The following statement is from Center for Christian Virtue's Ruth Edmonds: 

“This dangerous rewrite of our constitution would eliminate the basic rights of parents who would no longer need to be informed or provide consent for their minor daughter to have an abortion. It would outlaw health and safety regulations that protect women, and the proposed changes provide no protection for women who feel pressured or coerced to get an abortion. This amendment is too dangerous for Ohio.”
