“Issue 1 poses risks to Ohioans of all ages. It removes all protections for the unborn, allowing for late-term abortion when the unborn child is capable of feeling pain, and puts teenagers at risk — Democrats cannot support these radical measures … Even those who favor expanded abortion laws ought to<\/em>
vote<\/em> ‘NO’ on Issue 1.”<\/em>

COLUMBUS, OH — Protect Women Ohio<\/a> (PWO), the coalition opposing Issue 1, is launching a <\/a>new ad<\/a> during Saturday\u2019s Ohio State-Notre Dame game highlighting the bipartisan opposition to Issue 1\u2019s inclusion of abortion-on-demand up until birth, including when an unborn child is capable of feeling pain. The 30-second spot, titled \u201cJoin Them<\/a>,\u201d features Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump speaking out against the radical practice of late-term abortion and urges Ohioans to vote \u201cNO\u201d on Issue 1, which will legalize abortion-on-demand in Ohio if passed. The ad is part of a six-figure buy and will run statewide on broadcast television and digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe practice of late-term abortion is so barbaric that Republicans\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0Democrats agree it should be banned,\u201d\u00a0said Molly Smith, Protect Women Ohio board member. \u201cThe groups behind Issue 1, including the ACLU, clearly missed the memo: abortion-on-demand up until birth is too extreme for Ohioans. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Issue 1 poses risks to Ohioans of all ages. It removes all protections for the unborn, allowing for late-term abortion when the unborn child is capable of feeling pain, and puts teenagers at risk — Democrats cannot support these radical measures,”\u00a0said Barb Driehaus, Vice-President of Communications for Democrats for Life, Ohio Chapter<\/strong>.\u00a0“By repeatedly using the word ‘individual,’ never ‘adult,’ ‘woman’ or ‘person over 18,’ Issue 1 allows minors to legally obtain abortions without parental consent or even parental notification. An abuser could coerce the minor victim and Issue 1 will make it easier to cover up the crime. Even those who favor expanded abortion laws ought to vote ‘NO’ on Issue 1.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent public polling shows Americans of all political affiliations oppose the extreme practice of late-term abortion. Additional background information on Democratic opposition to the late-term abortions allowed under Issue 1 is available HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
