Ohio's Abortion Rights in the Spotlight: Parental Consent, Constitutional Amendment, and Supreme Court Review.
A proposed constitutional amendment in Ohio, supported by Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom and Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights, would give individuals the right to make their own reproductive decisions, including abortion and gender-altering surgeries, without any restrictions. Critics warn that the amendment would eliminate parental consent and notification requirements for minors and effectively obliterate most limits to abortion or sex-change surgery. Protect Women Ohio has launched a multi-million-dollar ad campaign to defeat the "extreme amendment."
