Remember, please, that this was a result of Ohioans showing the fuck UP for two elections in three months, paddling upstream against a current of unconstitutionally gerrymandered shit.
OHIO! AP HAS CALLED IT! "Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment on Tuesday that ensures access to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, the latest victory for abortion rights supporters since the U.S. Supreme Courtoverturned Roe v. Wade last year."
Ohio became the latest flashpoint in the nation’s battle over abortion access since SCOTUS overturned a constitutional right to the procedure.
And voter suppression. My driver's license expires this week and I haven't renewed it yet because it's required to vote now and comes in the mail from out of state.
When the hubby asked me last night how they did it, I said, "Thousands of women (and men) working hundreds of thousands of hours contacting people and going door-to-door." That's what we have to do now, to just maintain our basic rights. When do we get to work on the climate crisis and stuff?
Hopefully this continues towards getting an anti-gerrymandering Issue passed as well.
Starting with thousands of volunteers collecting signatures to put it on the ballot to begin with!
So proud of my home state! Been a New Yorker now for as long as I ever lived there but I'll always root for it! Thank you for noting just how difficult it has been there for quite a while.
