Pro-Trans group connects Ohio amendment to ‘LGBT rights,’ confirming conservative concerns about potential access to sterilizing surgeries for minors.

Radical LGBT activist⁤ group Human Rights Campaign endorsed an amendment on the Ohio ballot this fall, even linking it to “LGBTQ+ rights,” after leftists and their allies in the corporate media spent months insisting the amendment had nothing to do with gender experiments.

The constitutional amendment in question, which voters will decide⁢ on in November, would enshrine abortion up until ​birth in the Ohio Constitution‌ and also override parental ⁢consent ⁢laws for gender-dysphoric minors seeking irreversible surgeries and disfiguring hormone injections.

HRC,⁣ one ⁣of the far left’s premier lobbying groups, claimed in its Aug. 15 press release that it ‍supports the initiative because it⁢ wants to‌ “Secure Abortion as a​ Legal Right in Ohio.”

The second ‌to last paragraph in the⁤ blog post announcing HRC’s support, however, indicates that the​ organization knows‌ how the⁤ ballot proposal ‍fares ⁣will have an effect on “LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights, and, more broadly, Ohioans’ rights and values.”

HRC’s ⁢endorsement of the initiative came mere days after the group celebrated the defeat of Issue 1, which would have ‌changed ⁢the Buckeye State’s law to require a supermajority — a ⁣60 percent threshold vote instead⁢ of the current 50 percent plus one — ⁢for constitutional amendments to be ratified.

In its post, HRC declared the defeat ⁤of Issue 1 “means we​ can support the autonomy over our own bodies‌ when it’s on the ballot come November.”

HRC dabbles in abortion activism ⁣but‌ the organization’s primary goal is ⁣to advance the far⁢ left’s radical gender agenda by “Leading the ‌fight for LGBTQ+ rights,” which is likely‍ the main reason it wants to see the ACLU-authored amendment‌ pass in⁤ November.

Several pro-life and parental rights ⁢organizations warned that the language of the‍ ballot initiative — which would guarantee every​ individual “a right ⁤to​ make ⁢and carry out one’s own reproductive ⁤decisions” — is deliberately vague and ​ deceptive. They‍ also noted that a ​high proportion of LGBT activist⁤ groups​ are advocating for this amendment because they see it as an ⁣opportunity to bypass the state ​legislature on more issues than ⁢just abortion.

Protect Women Ohio argued in ‌a March 2023 advertisement that the proposed amendment is designed ⁤to “cut” parents “out of the biggest decision” of their vulnerable child’s life,⁤ including abortion or ‌deforming genital surgeries and chemical castration.

PWO’s efforts to communicate their concerns to parents were hamstrung by out-of-state activist groups and their allies ⁣in the corporate⁤ media which have repeatedly asserted the amendment “says nothing about transgender or parental rights.”

The eradication of parental rights for⁣ the sake of transgenderism and abortion is widely unpopular.⁤ A majority of Americans oppose gender experiments ⁤on⁣ minors and 56 percent say parents should have to consent ‌to their child getting an abortion.

It’s only with the help of outside, nationally-funded groups like HRC, which ⁢are well-versed in deceiving voters on abortion and radical ⁤gender ideology, that this amendment has a shot at passing.⁣
