The Reproductive Freedom Amendment grants all individuals the right to make their own decisions regarding abortion and other medical procedures.
And who would those “individuals” be?
Those individuals are minor children, and this amendment is an assault on parents right.
If you child makes a terrible mistake and becomes pregnant, do you trust them to make a life changing decision without parental involvement? If parents are not involved, then who is guiding our children?

What Will it Mean if the November Ballot Initiative Passes?
Virtually all restrictions on abortion and other procedures, including sex-change surgeries for minors will be eliminated.
Parental-consent laws and notification requirements for minors' abortions or sex-change surgeries would be canceled out.
Health protections for people of all ages, including the requirement for qualified physicians, would be struck down.
Grants school nurses the ability to refer children/teens for sex changes or abortions without parental knowledge or consent.
Makes Ohio a "no-limit" abortion state, stripping away all protections for the unborn & allows for painful late-term abortions up through nine months.
Potentially create a legal foundation for taking children away from their parents if they interfere with their child's decisions regarding gender identity or reproductive matters.
It's important to note that this initiative is happening during an off-year election cycle in 2023 when voter turnout is typically low. In these elections, only around 10% of regular voters participate, which means that a small percentage, as little as 5% of all voters, could end up changing the Ohio Constitution for everyone in the state.
