Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) urged voters to vote “no” on an abortion amendment that would “establish an individual right to one’s own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion.”
The amendment is known as “Issue 1.”
“Everywhere we go, folks tell us they’re confused about Issue 1, so Fran and I have carefully studied it,” Mike DeWine said in a video.
“Issue 1 would allow an abortion at any time during a pregnancy and it would deny parents the right to be involved when their daughter is making the most important decision of her life,” Fran DeWine, the governor’s wife, said.
The governor added, “I know Ohioans are divided on the issue of abortion. But, whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice, Issue 1 is just not right for Ohio.”
“Issue 1 just goes too far,” Fran DeWine stated.

An OB/GYN near Cincinnati told Townhall, “This amendment is so radical it would allow abortion at full-term, when babies can feel pain and survive outside the womb.”
