Healthy Students Act (Senate Bills 55 and 59 ) - CMC opposes these bills, sponsored by state Sen. Teresa Fedor . Both bills would have adverse effects on the way sex education is taught in Ohio schools. Most egregiously, it would remove language that's been part of state law since 1999 stating that abstinence until marriage is the state's standard for instruction regarding sexually transmitted diseases.
Oppose Freedom of Choice Act (SCR 6 ) - CMC supports this legislation, sponsored by state Sen. Tim Grendell . It would put the Ohio General Assembly on record opposing the federal Freedom of Choice Act, a radical piece of proposed legislation that would eliminate all state and federal restrictions on abortion.
Ohio Tenant Protection Act - (HB 9 ) - CMC supports this bill, sponsored by state Reps. Ted Celeste and Mike Foley . It would provide reasonable safeguards for renters when the owner of their rental unit goes bankrupt. The bill has passed the Ohio House and is now in the state Senate. CMC believes that in the interests of social justice, renters should not suffer because of the financial problems of their landlords.
HB 176 - CMC opposes this bill, sponsored by state Reps. Dan Stewart and Ross McGregor . It would prohibit discrimination in employment or housing on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. It is unnecessary because these groups do not meet the requirements of a minority group that deserves special protection. Additionally, it would create a costly bureaucracy and public-education campaigns, including one targeted at public-school students, that is irresponsible given the state's economic condition.
