(COLUMBUS, OH) <\/strong>–\u00a0Ohio\u00a0Right to Life’s H.B. 63, the Judicial Bypass legislation, was overwhelmingly voted out of the Senate Judiciary and\u00a0Civil Justice Committee\u00a0today by a 6 to 3 vote, defeating attempts at pro-abortion amendments along the way. This pro-life legislation will protect minors and their unborn children by strengtheningparental involvement\u00a0and consent laws.<\/p>\n

“We thank the pro-life members of the Senate committee and the leadership of the\u00a0Ohio Senate\u00a0who continue to advance life-saving policies,” said Mike Gonidakis, Executive Director of\u00a0Ohio Right to Life. “H.B. 63 strengthens parents’ ability to care for their children and prevents lawyers and others from taking mom and dad’s place when the child needs them most.”<\/p>\n

Current Ohio law states that parental consent is required before a minor can obtain an abortion, but a loophole exists which allows judges to bypass parental involvement and allow a minor to obtain an abortion.\u00a0 H.B. 63\u00a0puts an end to this “rubber-stamp” judicial approval.<\/p>\n

On behalf of all pro-life Ohioans, we would like to thank Chairman\u00a0Mark Wagoner\u00a0(R – Toledo)<\/strong> and the the committee members for their support and leadership in passing this pro-life legislation.\u00a0Please contact the following Senators to thank them for their support:<\/p>\n

Chairman Mark Wagoner –\u00a0(614) 466-8060<\/p>\n

Senator Scott Oelslager –\u00a0(614) 466-0626<\/p>\n

Senator Larry Obhof –\u00a0(614) 466-7505<\/p>\n

Senator Keith Faber –\u00a0(614) 466-7584<\/p>\n

Senator Bill Seitz –\u00a0(614) 466-8068<\/p>\n

Senator Karen Gillmor –\u00a0(614) 466-8049<\/p>\n

Even while the bill is progressing with momentum, ORTL encourages all members to continue to urge our elected officials to stand with Ohio and support this life-saving legislation. To find your office holder, click\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
