Early voting began on Thursday in the Ohio election — a poll which could decide whether or not the supposed “right” to abortion is codified into the state constitution.
Ohioans have the opportunity through election day on November 7 to vote on Issue 1, which would “establish in the Constitution of the State of Ohio an individual right to one’s own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion.”
The ballot measure was put forward by Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights — a coalition comprised of far-left groups such as URGE, ACLU of Ohio, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio. The language of the amendment, which was changed significantly by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) and now includes the term “unborn child,” would also:
Create legal protections for any person or entity that assists a person with receiving reproductive medical treatment, including but. Not limited to abortion;
Prohibit the State from directly or indirectly burdening, penalizing, or prohibiting abortion before an unborn child is determined to be viable, unless the State demonstrates that it is using the least restrictive means;
Grants a pregnant woman’s treating physician the authority to determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether an unborn child is viable;
Only allow the State to prohibit an abortion after an unborn child is determined by a pregnant woman’s treating physician to be viable and only id the physician does not consider the abortion necessary to protect the pregnant woman’s life or health; and
Always allow an unborn child to be aborted at any stage of pregnancy, regardless of viability, if, in the treating physician’s determination, the abortion is necessary to protect the pregnant woman’s life or health.

Practically useless as a physician can be fired and replaced.
I wonder if they took public opinion polls on this.
I’m here in northeaster Ohio. All the signs I see are “Vote No,” which is the pro-life stance.
My hubby said he saw one “Vote Yes,” but I haven’t seen any.

Almost 60 percent of Ohio voters back abortion rights amendment: poll
By Lauren Sforza. 07/24/23
The Hill.
An overwhelming majority of Ohio voters back a state constitutional amendment that would guarantee access to abortion in the state.
A new USA TODAY Network/Suffolk University poll conducted among Ohio voters found that 58 percent supported the abortion rights amendment that is likely slated to appear on the ballot next November while 32 percent opposed it and 10 percent were undecided.
That’s good that Ohio is voting on it now. Once they make abortion legal in Ohio, it will be less of an issue next year (2024).
Pfffftttttt. 63% of NV voters(IOW Las Vegas) approved up to 24 weeks way back in 1990. Even further if the doc thinks its necessary. So, Las Vegas Visitor Authority is missing the boat if they don’t promote it. Empty you wallet and uterus all in one trip! 🤔
🙏🇮🇱👍
Probably not. But Ohio pretty much gave their option a few months ago on the subject. Grrrr.
The campaign for abortion is well financed and overwhelms the pro life efforts. There is no involvement at all from the gop. Ohio republican party is indifferent to the issue and is not doing anything to contribute.
It’s not just that. America is socially liberal. There is no consensus to ban abortion.

True dat.
Pro Life America and Pro Life Ohio have been awakened and the Buckeye State will vote for Life.
Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana were lopsided losses for pro-life.
Are there any good polls for Ohio and what distinguishes it from those other states?
