Reproductive Freedom Amendment
The Reproductive Freedom Amendment will be Issue 1 in November, 2023. It protects Ohioans’ freedom to make their own decisions about
- abortion
- contraception
- fertility treatment
- miscarriage care, and
- continuing one’s own pregnancy
The out-of-touch, extremist Republicans who control the General Assembly for the time being are determined to take those freedoms away. But you can say YES to freedom. Here are some ways to make your voice heard:
VOTE: check the General Election key dates on this page, make sure your voter registration is good to go, and vote YES, early in-person, or by mail, or in-person on Election Day.
ADVOCATE: tell your friends and family about the amendment, and encourage them to vote for freedom.
PUT UP A YARD SIGN: click here to get one.
DONATE: you can help pass Reproductive Freedom, and support Democrats running for local offices by donating.
PHONE BANK: you can call voters and encourage them to vote YES. Get trained and get started here.
