Ohio abortion measure would end parental consent for gender surgeries, critics warn
Fox News
Protect Women Ohio (PWO) is fighting a state constitutional amendment that they say would strip rights of parents to consent on abortion or gender-altering surgeries.
That amendment supported by Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom and Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights could be added to the November 2023 ballot. It was approved by the Ohio Ballot Board on Monday, meaning that proponents of the group now have to earn enough signatures to make it a ballot measure. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The amendment states that "every individual has a right to make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions, including but not limited to decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing one’s own pregnancy, miscarriage care and abortion."
