Legislation to Strengthen Parental Consent Voted Out With Bipartisan Support<\/strong>
\n9\/27\/2011<\/p>\n

(COLUMBUS, OH) – The Ohio Senate passed House Bill 63, Ohio Right to Life’s Judicial Bypass legislation,
\nby a 23 to 9 bipartisan vote this afternoon. This pro-life legislation will protect minors and their unborn
\nchildren by closing loopholes and raising the bar to protect parents’ ability to care for their children.<\/p>\n

“We thank Senate President Tom Niehaus and the pro-life members of the Senate who continue to
\nadvance life-saving policies,” said Mike Gonidakis, Executive Director of Ohio Right to Life.
\n“H.B. 63 strengthens parents’ ability to care for their children and prevents lawyers and others from
\ntaking 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,
\nbut a loophole exists which allows judges to bypass parental involvement and allow a minor to
\nobtain an abortion. H.B. 63 puts an end to this “rubber-stamp” judicial approval.<\/p>\n

Today’s vote on the Senate floor follows the overwhelming 64 to 33 bipartisan vote of support
\nit received in the Ohio House earlier this year. After the House concurs with today’s passage
\nof the legislation, the bill will be sent to pro-life Governor John Kasich to be signed into law.<\/p>\n

On behalf of all pro-life Ohioans, we would like to thank Senator President Tom Niehaus
\n(R – New Richmond), Senator Mark Wagoner (R – Toledo) and all the pro-life senators
\nfor their support and leadership in passing this pro-life legislation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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!
