The ACLU has unequivocally declared war on parental rights in Ohio, telling local media this week<\/a> that existing parental consent and notification laws in Ohio \u201cshould not be enforced\u201d if the abortion industry succeeds in passing its anti-parent ballot initiative<\/a> later this fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACLU of Ohio attorney Jessie Hill recently admitted that passage of the dangerous constitutional amendment proposed by the ACLU, abortion industry insiders, and their out-of-state allies \u201cwould mean that laws that conflict with it cannot be enforced, should not be enforced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courts across the country have already interpreted language similarly contained in the proposed Ohio amendment to strike down parental notification and consent laws, erasing parents from the picture and forbidding them from providing consent \u2013 or even being notified \u2013 if their underage daughter chooses to undergo an abortion. Unfortunately, the Ohio amendment takes this even further. Its loosely defined language forbidding any law that \u201cdirectly or indirectly\u201d would \u201cburden\u201d or interfere\u201d with \u201creproductive decisions\u201d means parents would also be left blindfolded if their child chose to pursue sex change surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ACLU has been fighting against parental rights for decades now \u2013 and Ohio parents are simply their latest target. In 2016<\/a>, they fought to undo parental notification laws in Alaska. The following year,<\/a> they claimed Indiana parental consent laws create an \u201cunconstitutional burden on emancipated minors\u2026 who wish to obtain an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ACLU even has an entire page on its website<\/a> outlining its opposition to parental consent and notification laws. FULL STORY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
