Takes all-inclusive, vague language to a whole new level - none of the key terms are defined:
“Individual” - No age, sex, condition – just “Every individual”
“Reproductive decisions” - “including but not limited to decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing one’s own pregnancy, miscarriage care, and abortion”
Means definition can be expanded to anything involving “Reproduction”
“Patients life or health” - Any limitation can be overridden for “health” but no definition of “health is given”
Means exception can be physical, mental, financial, basically anything that can be construed as effecting the individual.
Most disturbing aspects:
Ohio will join North Korea and China as one of the few places on earth where you can legally kill a baby up to the moment of birth.
Permits anyone to encourage children to have abortions or gender surgeries
Prohibits anyone, including parents, from discouraging these procedures
Segment 2:
Reaching Independents
Issue 2 - “Commercialize, Regulate, Legalize, and Tax the Adult Use of Cannabis”
Actual text of the resolution is 51 pages long!!!
And very, very difficult to find online
While much is said about “cannabis” the bulk of the language deals with “Social Equity and Jobs Program” - a new effort under the Ohio Department of Development
Section 2: “provide funding and social equity opportunities in the state”
Section 3: “Prescribing standards and procedures in coordination with the department of development to administer and enforce the cannabis social equity and jobs program”
The Department of Development - “Creating a better life for all Ohioans”
Already sounds like an “equity” focused organization
New “Social Equity and Jobs Program”
Funded by legalizing and licensing cannabis
Easily expanded to every area of commerce, business and government activity
Also includes language that forces cannabis into poor and impoverished neighborhoods
Anyone previously convicted of selling weed, can get Ohio funding to get back into the business!
Aside from the obvious issues with widespread use of marijuana, the focus on creating a whole new “equity” program has nothing to do with the legalization effort.
