ACTION REQUEST: NEW LEGISLATION TO BAN ABORTION IN OHIO
April 21, 2005–Ohio Rep. Tom Brinkman will be introducing legislation in the Ohio House of Representatives in the next couple of weeks that would prohibit all forms of abortion-on-demand in the state of Ohio. A co-sponsor request was recently issued and legislators are already responding.
The proposed legislation will make it illegal to perform any abortion on a woman. It also places felony penalties on an individual who attempts to coordinate an abortion for a minor, and makes it a felony to transport a woman across state lines to obtain an abortion. Under this legislation, pregnant women seeking an abortion will not be charged with a crime.
“It is time for government to be on the offensive to protect human life, rather than defensive,” said Rep. Brinkman. “As we saw during the last presidential election, Ohio is a front-runner for upholding moral values. Ohio legislators and their constituents are ready for this bold legislation that again demonstrates Ohio’s leadership.”
Advance notice of the ban was enthusiastically received Tuesday, April 19, at the Ohio Family Lobby Day in Columbus. Lobby Day participants included individual grassroots activists and representatives from the Pro-Family Network, Citizens for Community Values, Christian Coalition of Ohio, Eagle Forum of Ohio, Family First State and Federal PAC, Institute for Principled Policy, Center for Moral Clarity, Pray Ohio, Warren County Right to Life, Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati, and more.
