COLUMBUS – Members of the Ohio General Assembly issued a statement Wednesday, in
response to the passage of Issue One during Tuesday’s general election.
“Unlike the language of this proposal, we want to be very clear. The vague, intentionally
deceptive language of Issue 1 does not clarify the issues of life, parental consent, informed
consent, or viability including Partial Birth Abortion, but rather introduces more confusion. This
initiative failed to mention a single, specific law. We will do everything in our power to prevent
our laws from being removed based upon perception of intent. We were elected to protect the
most vulnerable in our state, and we will continue that work.”
The Ohio House Pro-Life Caucus was founded in 2021 during the 134th General Assembly. It is composed
of members from across the state of Ohio who are committed to protecting the pre-born. For more
