According to the language of Issue 1, the proposed right to be authorized into the Constitution is: "Every individual has a right to make and carry out one's own reproductive decisions, including but not limited to decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing one's own pregnancy, miscarriage care, and abortion." Clergymen across the state are saying this could dangerously impact every aspect of the nuclear family and not just involve the abortion issue.

"As lead clergymen from one hundred seventy-one congregations, we believe the language of Issue 1 is deceptively vague and detrimental to the basic, inalienable, and GOD-given rights of parents and children," said Pastor Dave Rentzel, one of the clergy spokesmen during a press conference at Richland Pregnancy Services on Wednesday.

Pastor Bobby Edwards, another co-signer of a clergy joint statement commented, "Because of the indistinct language describing 'reproductive decisions,' Issue 1 will impose a blank check of abuses to occur on Ohio children including but not limited to: gender-selective abortions, trans-surgeries on minors, castration of children's sexual organs, harvesting of body parts, and even cloning. In other words, Issue 1 will allow child abuse to exponentially increase while simultaneously causing the influence of parents to decrease."

The clergy say Issue 1 will enshrine the special right to kill an already existing human-being living in his or her mother's womb. Drafted by the billion-dollar Planned Parenthood organization, the faith leaders say this radical pro-abortion constitutional amendment will permit the abortion/murder of unborn babies throughout all nine months of pregnancy, even after heartbeat detection and after an unborn baby can feel pain.

"The Ohio faith community has consistently advocated for the sanctity of life and also advocated for moral clarity regarding childhood sexuality," said Pastor Kevin Evans. "With the mandate from GOD, we will not be silent on issues affecting our culture."

The language of Issue 1 also says "Abortion may be prohibited after fetal viability." Fetal viability would be determined by the subjective opinion of an abortionist doctor treating the pregnant woman. Abortion-providers like Planned Parenthood, who make a killing off the murder of children in the womb, will be protected because they can claim exclusive authority by defining viability and avoid any form of liability for terminating the lives of babies.

Pastor Evans warned, "Unfortunately, an approved constitutional amendment is much harder to reverse than laws which can be changed with each legislative session. If this wicked Issue 1 passes, the Ohio Legislature will not be able to modify or regulate this language. Further, this diabolical language cannot be challenged in Ohio's Supreme Court since the Court is obligated by law to abide by the State Constitution as approved by the voters of the state."

The clergy contend that Issue 1 is so unpopular, it would never pass the regular lawmaking process in the Ohio Legislature that has a conservative majority. That process would involve hearings, extended debate, witnesses, documentation, questions and counter-questions, and amendments. That is why Planned Parenthood is trying to deceive voters by making Issue 1 appear as just an abortion provision.

"Voters need to see the language of Issue 1 and "VOTE NO," says Pastor Rentzel. "The devil really is in the details."

Clergy co-signers of the joint statement have congregations located in twenty-three counties throughout Ohio. Counties with the most congregations represented: Richland (100), Crawford (12), Ashland (9), Trumbull (8), Wayne (8), Knox (6), Huron (4), Morrow (4), Stark (4).

The Bottom Line:

The Bible says in Matthew Chapter Eighteen, "But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
