Ohio Voters Reject RightWing Issue 1; Battle for Abortion Access Shifts to November
"Ohio Republican leaders, anti-choice religious-right groups, and a right-wing billionaire were all pushing for passage of Issue 1, an Ohio ballot initiative that would make it harder for voters in the future to amend the state Constitution. Voters turned out in large numbers Tuesday and thwarted the scheme. Ohio voters rejected the initiative by a 57-43 margin, leading the New York Times to note “abortion’s potency to reshape elections” in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
Putting Issue 1 on the ballot in August was a desperate attempt by anti-abortion forces to prevent Ohio voters, who strongly support legal access to abortion, from amending the state constitution in November to protect that access. While some public officials had tried to portray the initiative as an effort to “protect” the state constitution, anti-choice leader Janet Porter was among those who stated that Issue 1 was all about keeping the right to choose out of the state constitution.
In the days before the vote, far-right rhetoric intensified. Jennifer Roback Morse, head of the anti-choice and anti-LGBTQ Ruth Institute, said the initiative would give Ohio voters the opportunity to “save their state from the ravages of the Sexual Revolution.” A spokesperson for the Ohio-based Center for Christian Virtue warned that a pro-choice victory in November would “bring out the complete Californication of Ohio.”"
