First, this issue wasn't about legalizing abortion. It was about raising the threshold for a Constitutional amendment from 50 to 60%. So, the vote wasn't necessarily about legalizing abortion beyond six weeks.

Second, Trump won easily in Ohio twice. JD Vance won easily in 2022. So, there isn't any reason to believe this issue will result in Trump or whoever the GOP nominee for the Senate losing in 2024.

Third, the left and pro-abortion forces were more energized than the right and pro-lifers on this vote. That certainly doesn't mean they will be in November of next year with the Presidency control of the Senate on the line.

The most negative takeaway from this is that there is a good percentage of the voters in Ohio that support Trump and vote Republican that believe abortion should be legal beyond six weeks. That's a bit a shocker to me. But, it could be true.

You'd be surprised how many folks that would never think of voting for a Democrat, want no part of a total ban on abortion. Frankly a lot of them, would prefer people abort babies they can't afford, than for them to pay for them through welfare.
