Protect Women Ohio (PWO), the coalition opposing Issue 1, released a new ad today featuring Governor Mike DeWine and First Lady Fran DeWine highlighting the radical nature of Issue 1 and urging Ohioans – to vote NO on Issue 1. The ad features the Governor and First Lady speaking directly to camera, explaining they have carefully studied the amendment language and concluded Issue 1 goes too far by allowing late-term abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and gutting parental rights.
“Issue 1 would allow an abortion at any time during a pregnancy, and it would deny parents the right to be involved when their daughter is making the most important decision of her life,”
Current Ohio law permits abortion up until 22 weeks of pregnancy for any reason. After 22 weeks, Ohio law contains exceptions to protect the life of the mother and to prevent “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function” of the mother. Should Issue 1 pass, Ohio will become the most radical abortion regime in the country, allowing for late-term abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, including when science confirms an unborn child is capable of feeling pain. As a constitutional amendment, Issue 1 will trump state law, rendering the 22-week ban unenforceable.
By failing to explicitly define viability, and by giving abortionists the final word in determining when post-viability abortions can be performed on a case-by-case basis, Issue 1 leaves the door wide open for painful, late-term abortions. Issue 1 also contains a major loophole by allowing late-term abortions to protect the “health” of the mother. The United States Supreme Court has interpreted “health” to include not just a mother’s physical health, but also her mental, emotional, social and financial health, essentially permitting late-term abortion for any reason.

Vote YES. Then Joe Biden and the Democrats won’t be able to make it an issue in 2024. White women will be less likely to turn out to vote next year.

WTF? Give the Democrats their most extremist, evil wishes so they won’t use them against us as a campaign issue??? Just how stupid are you? Have you ever seen the Democrats say, “Well, we got what we wanted, so we’ll be nice now?”
Leave the Republican Party. Join the Democratic Party. And stay far away from Free Republic.
What happened the good ol’ days of zotting trash?
Discussion now about “reproductive rights” to include sex changes for minors without parental consent. Wonder who will pay for lifelong treatments?
I am quite sure it will pass. The lies told by pro death adherents always get more play by media. Not only that too many women see killing their preborn as a fundamental means of bettering their lives.
Millions of dead babies or gaining the upper hand in politics. Gee, How do I decide?
Sadly, I agree with you. Blatant lies are being told on TV ads, and are effectively confusing people.
Gave a talk about it last week to a small group. First question was “Do I vote No or Yes ?” It took me back because I didn’t realize how confused people were what this all means.
