Ohio's Proposed Abortion Amendment Goes Too Far

Abortion is not health care, and doctor-patient decisions on abortion cannot be government-free.

In Ohio this election cycle, voters are being asked to enshrine two falsehoods into the laws of their state: that abortion is health care and that Ohioans' elected representatives have no role in abortion-related decisions.Abortion was illegal in most states until the 1970s, and the medical field understood why. The American Medical Association opposed abortion in most circumstances. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists viewed pregnancy as having two patients.

The abortion industry wants to prevent such legislation so abortion can occur through all trimesters of pregnancy with minimal burden, interference, or penalty.This scenario is playing out in Ohio this November. Ohio Issue One proposes to enshrine an individual right to make reproductive decisions, including but not limited to abortion, through an amendment to the state constitution.
