Leftist Push To Disenfranchise Parents In Ohio Riddled With DeceptionBY: JORDAN BOYD
JULY 05, 2023
Activists in Ohio filed more than 700,000 signatures on Wednesday in an attempt to add a proposed constitutional amendment enshrining several anti-parent policies into law to the November ballot.
The ballot language, penned by the ACLU and promoted by nearly a dozen pro-abortion and LGBT groups, claims that “every individual has a right” to ending life in the womb and other “reproductive decisions” regardless of age or trimester.
Those keen on bringing abortion through birth into the state and removing parental consent laws for minors seeking irreversible gender experiments celebrated the hundreds of thousands of signatures as a win for their agenda.

The means by which those signatures were obtained, however, were not fully above board.
Roughly 413,000 of the signatures collected must be deemed valid by state officials but footage shows petitioners knowingly soliciting endorsement from bystanders who are not qualified to sign a petition in Ohio.
“She did say she wasn’t registered to vote in Ohio,” a man tells one of the men garnering information.
“So when these get notarized, her signature gets disqualified and doesn’t count. But from a manager point of view, the signature counts for me as a signature for today. That’s how we get paid,” the petitioner said.

Signatures aren’t the only thing activists twisted to advance their agenda. They also work to keep the amendment’s language vague in an attempt to disguise some of its radical implications.
Groups like Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom — a coalition of eight pro-abortion and LGBT groups — and Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights, with help from fake “fact-checkers,” insist that the amendment “says nothing about transgender or parental rights.”
Even out-of-state petitioners hired by Planned Parenthood, who originally tried to claim that the amendment will simply move current laws from “six weeks to 12 weeks” confirmed there was “no age limit” to abortions and that a “child can go have an abortion without her parents knowing.”
