Vote NO on Issue 1 on November 7
-- Early voting begins October 11 --
On November 7, 2023, Ohioans will vote on the most dangerous ballot initiative in Ohio history. If Issue 1 passes, it will enshrine abortion-until-birth, with zero restrictions, into Ohio’s constitution. The seriousness of this ballot initiative cannot be overstated. If this is passed, Ohio’s legislature could not pass any future laws to protect the preborn. The abortion issue would be ripped out of our hands permanently.
It is important to note that this ballot measure would not only allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy but also enshrine minors’ “ right “ to undergo dangerous sex-change surgeries and acquire life-altering drugs, like Lupron, behind their parent’s backs.

Know the Facts
How does Issue 1 put women at risk?
Health and safety standards in Ohio could be eliminated. Doctors could no longer need to examine a woman or explain the risks of the abortion procedure ahead of time.
How does Issue 1 threaten parental rights?
A 15-year-old could have an abortion without her parents knowing. Current Ohio law requires parental notification and consent before a child under 18 can obtain an abortion. These parental right protections could be removed as they directly conflict with the amendment which would allow all individuals, including minors, to make their own reproductive decisions.
How does Issue 1 threaten the lives of fully formed pre-born babies?
Abortion would be legal through all nine months of pregnancy. Physicians at an abortion clinic could use a woman’s age or emotional well-being as a reason to perform an abortion in the third trimester.

Issue 1 will make partial-birth abortion legal.
This means you can abort an unborn child
right up to the moment of birth.
