"Battle over Ohio Ballot Measure: Abortion Access vs. Parental Rights"

A proposed constitutional amendment on Ohio's fall ballot to protect abortion rights is being characterized by opponents as a threat to parental rights. Anti-abortion groups are using the campaign to test arguments over parental rights and gender-related health care as a counterpunch. Legal experts disagree over the potential impact on parental control, with opponents focusing on the amendment's wording and claiming it could allow minors to end pregnancies without parental permission or have sex change surgeries without parental consent. Ohio already has a parental consent law, and supporters of the amendment argue that parents would retain the right to be involved in reproductive decisions if the amendment is approved.

"Battle for Abortion Rights in Ohio Fuels Misinformation Campaign Ahead of Fall Vote"

Ohio is set to vote on a November ballot measure that aims to guarantee access to abortion rights, but misinformation about the proposal is already spreading. Supporters argue that the amendment would restore commonsense abortion protection, while opponents claim it would allow for abortions "up to birth" and protect abusers. However, medical and legal experts clarify that the amendment would still allow Ohio to restrict abortions beyond the point of fetal viability, abortions "up to birth" are exceedingly rare and involve inducing birth early, the amendment does not protect abusers, infanticide is already illegal, and it is a stretch to claim that the amendment is about gender-related health care. The amendment also does not invalidate Ohio's existing parental consent law, although opponents argue it could be challenged in court.

"Ohio Ballot Measure Sparks Debate on Abortion Access and Parental Rights"

Anti-abortion groups are using the campaign to test arguments over parental rights and gender-related health care as a potential winning counterpunch. Legal experts disagree over the potential impact of the amendment on parents' ability to control their children's access to abortion and gender-related health care. The wording of the amendment is being scrutinized, with opponents suggesting that it could allow minors to end pregnancies and receive gender-related health care without parental permission.
