And a crux of the talk also revolved around pro-abortion lobbies trying to enshrine abortion into the Ohio Constitution with an amendment to be voted on this November.  Six left-leaning states already got versions of the latter passed in their states during the 2022 Mid-Term elections.  And all eyes are now on Ohio, because it would be the first conservative leaning state to pass the amendment.  (While Ohio is the only state that this is up for a vote in this year, Mr. Range said it&#8217;s expected some 14 states will attempt the same next year, in tandem with the 2024 Presidential Election.  Pro-life and Pro-choice people have been fanning out across Ohio to make their case.  Mr. Range claimed that the amendment, based on an analysis by his organization, would: eliminate parental rights and consent; eliminate the 24-hour waiting period in the state; eliminate the Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act; allow late term abortions on demand; force pregnancy centers to refer for abortions&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio Right to Life CEO Peter Range &#8230;photo by Joe I attended this talk, which revolved around a Special Election for &#8220;Issue 1&#8221; slated for this August.
