There is no mention of denying any rights to parents in the process of enshrining reproductive rights like abortion, miscarriage care and infertility treatment into the Ohio Constitution.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.There is no mention of denying any rights to parents in the process of enshrining reproductive rights like abortion, contraception, miscarriage care and infertility treatment into the Ohio Constitution.
The term “individual” is currently used 36 times in the Ohio Constitution, including in the definition of “health care system,” the eligibility of officeholders, and clauses on temporary housing and corporate property. In a new ad for the Issue 1 opposition group Protect Women Ohio, a coalition including Ohio Right to Life and other anti-abortion rights groups, Gov. Mike DeWine and First Lady Fran DeWine feature as leaders against the measure.
The Catholic Conference of Ohio pointed to the first line of the proposed amendment and the word “individual,” saying the use of the word would allow anyone under age 18 to “have an abortion, or make any reproductive decision without their parents’ consent or notification.” The resolution passed with the GOP majority unanimously approving it. The seven Democratic senators all voted against the measure.
Judicial bypass, as it stands now, has been around since 2012 in the state, after then-Gov. John Kasichsigned a law that prohibits forcing a minor to have an abortion, but leaves in place a legal way for minors to petition juvenile court to bypass parental consent.
