Ohio abortion measure would end parental consent for gender surgeries, critics warn

Parents in Ohio are fighting a state constitutional amendment that they say would strip the rights of parents to give consent on abortion or gender-altering surgeries.

Protect Women Ohio (PWO), which describes itself as a “pro-woman, pro-parent coalition,” launched a multi-million-dollar television and digital ad campaign statewide today aimed at defeating the “extreme amendment” to the Ohio Constitution.
