Legal analysts say the amendment would do away with most limits on abortion and other reproductive procedures, including sex-change surgeries, and would cancel parental-consent laws.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A proposed Ohio constitutional amendment that not only could remove most restrictions on abortion but undermine parental-consent laws is being called a “Gettysburg moment” for the pro-life movement.

Keenly aware that efforts to defeat similar amendments or pass measures that would limit abortion are 0 for 6 since Roe v. Wade was overturned last June, pro-life forces have unified and organized early to defeat a proposed amendment that pro-abortion groups hope to place on the Nov. 7 ballot in the Buckeye state.

Known as the “Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety,” the amendment is being advanced by two groups: Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom, a coalition of eight organizations that includes the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, and Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights. According to Ohio Right to Life, the first group has hired as its general counsel Mission Control, Inc., which claims to have passed progressive ballot initiatives and voter referenda across the country, even in red states. The second group, meanwhile, represents less than 4% of physicians in the state.
