Medical worker Speak Out on Issue 1

BY JEFF SKINNER

STATEWIDE – As the looming vote over abortion in Ohio inches ever closer to it’s precipice, medical personnel are speaking out over their concerns with how this amendment could fundamentally change the state for the worse.

Elaine Connelly is a registered nurse practitioner and the owner and operator of Wealth & Wellness Journey. She studied healthcare management at Ursuline College and previously worked as the Research Review and Cancer Data Coordinator at Parma Community General Hospital. Today she is speaking out about her concerns over the upcoming amendment which seeks to radically shift Ohio’s bylaws in ways many are not prepared for, and while many medical personnel are unwilling to make their voices heard publicly, Connelly is more than happy to speak her mind.

“That’s because they are coming after us and they came after me last year and I refuse to be quiet,” Connelly said.

Over the past few years Connelly experienced increased scrutiny from the State of Ohio Board of nursing over her practice of informing people on how to improve their immune health naturally. According to Connelly, this crusade against anyone not actively towing the pharma line of mRNA injections, or simply telling people how boosting their immune system can help in general, was seen as “covid misinformation.” After this experience, Connelly was no longer willing to sit quietly as special interest groups took over the medical establishment.

Fast forward to our current vote and Connelly is still speaking out against what she sees as injustices abound, one of the biggest being the proposed amendment in Issue 1.

“You were not born with a Tylenol deficiency and that has been the state of the healthcare system, drugs and surgery,” Connely said. “As a result of that, I am not shy about talking with people when they start asking questions and sending them to resources. They know people are wising up and learning what’s going on and they are failing what they are attempting So when you are looking at Issue 1 it is more of the same.”

According to Connelly, one of the biggest issues with the amendment is its language. We have previously covered the wording of the amendment, however Connelly believes it may go beyond cutting parents out of medical choices for their children.

“You just don’t idly change the constitution of the state of Ohio. This constitutional amendment, the way it is worded is very general, it legalizes prostitution and child prostitution, adult and child sexual relationships, abortion through 9 months of pregnancy and you can even kill a baby at birth,” Connelly said. “It removes all parental rights in regards to gender confusion for everyone under 18, they are putting healthcare centers in the schools nowadays with psychologists and nurses to oversee those children’s healthcare and isolate the parent from any decision making there.”

According to Connelly, the language in the amendment is so broad it does not define what is someone’s “reproductive right” nor does it define the age stipulations of “an individual,” leaving the door open to more than simply exploitation of the mentally ill through surgeries for gender dysphoria but could even open the door to far more nefarious exploitation.

“If a woman claims it is my reproductive decision to have sex and get paid for it, the state shall not make any law against it the state shall not directly or indirectly burden, hinder, penalize prohibit, interfere with or discriminate against this newfound right and there is no limitation on age here,” Connelly said.

Contrasting this amendment with Issue 2, which seeks to legalize marijuana consumption in the state, where the language is very clear it would only pertain to individuals 18 and older.

“It legalizes pedophilia here, if an adult can convince a child it is in his or her best interest to have sex with them and convince the child to say it is their own reproductive choice then the state cannot make any law against that,” Connelly said.

This information, while jarring for some, might be far clearer when understood in context. Based on metrics from 2022, Ohio ranks fifth in the nation for child trafficking, averaging around 4 victims per  100,000 residents. Exactly why Ohio ranks so high in these metrics is still a cause for debate, however some may be interested to know that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell associate Leslie Wexner calls the heartland his home. Wexner is listed in Forbes as the states wealthiest resident and is a top contributor to multiple elected officials both locally and federally, including sizeable donations to Ohio’s current governor.

“That’s been going on for at least ten years that I have seen in that arena,” Connelly said.

The main issue and concern surrounding the amendment still hovers strongly over the industry of abortion, however. While alternative outlets have conducted scrutinizing dives on the multiple layers surrounding the power players in this industry and the industry of ‘fetal tissue research’ in general, Connelly has seen first hand how hospital networks handle these practices. One of the biggest concerns over the language of the amendment is that it prohibits any restriction on the practice and puts the ultimate determination of the procedure in the hands of the abortion provider. In many instances, these providers are for profit or medical offices who may be more dependent on the income generated from tissue ‘donations’ harvested from the procedure itself, making it a very slippery slope in terms of whether the action is in the best interest of the mother or the institutions pocketbook.

“I worked in the hospital, we did not throw away placentas, those went to a medical device company,” Connelly said. “What they were doing with them, I have no idea, but bottom line is there are big industries at play here. The [financial] donations they receive are written into the budgets, it’s a line item. It’s a production line and it’s all about the bottom-line dollar. I can tell you that there is a document from John Hopkins that lists out all the vaccines and every single one has [human] DNA in it. It’s not just human vaccines, it’s also dog and cat vaccines.”

Ohioans will be weighing their conscience on Tuesday, November 7 to determine where the state will go next, but according to Connelly, Ohio is just the beginning for the power players behind this amendment shift.

“Ohio is a test state, they are pouring all kinds of money into this amendment to see if it will pass, before they move on to the next.” Connely said.
