Highland County GOP endorses 'no' vote on Issue 1

To the editor:

To all Ohio voters in the Nov. 7 election: A constitutional amendment is on the ballot. 

Vote "NO" on Issue 1. Highland County Republican Central and Executive committees have endorsed a "no" vote on Issue 1.

In case you haven't heard, Ohio has been targeted by the abortion industry, and the out-of-state proponents are bringing in millions of dollars to get this passed. But the bottom line is this — unborn babies through 9 months of a pregnancy could be aborted (killed) before/at birth. 

Late-term abortions are painful and senseless. We are a nation that values life in many different forms — so why kill babies?

In addition, parental rights for children would be taken away. Abortions performed on children could be done without their parent's knowledge or consent. 

You have a choice. Protect the unborn. Make your voice heard - votes "NO" on Issue 1.

You can vote early now or go to the polls Nov. 7. Please vote. 

Paulette Donley, Executive Chair
Highland County Republican Party

If voters actually read the language of Ohio Issue 1, even rational pro-choice voters, they ought to reject Issue 1 and start over with a more reasonable proposal. The GOP, Senator Shane Wilkin and the Catholic Church are correct in opposing this issue.
