"Early voting has begun in Ohio and new data shows that Ohioans are favoring the passage of two major statewide issues, according to Baldwin Wallace University’s research institute.
An Ohio Pulse Poll was conducted by the university that shows both Issue 1 and Issue 2 would pass if the election was held today.
This time, 850 Ohioans were surveyed on how they would vote on Issue 1 and Issue 2, which are both on November’s ballot.
Issue 1 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;” according to the ballot language.
The BW CRI Ohio Pulse Poll shows that 58% of likely voters favor the passage of Issue 1.
Furthermore, the Issue is favored by 89% of Democrats, 39% of Republicans, and 51% of independents, according to the poll’s results.
65% of parents, 54% of gun owners, and 37% of evangelicals support Issue 1. Only 8% of respondents were undecided, according to the results."

Abortion issues will get women, including suburban women, to vote in massive numbers, and not in a good way. This usually will ripple to the elective offices, also not in a good way.
>> including but not limited to abortion
BS language the grants the weak-minded an excuse to vote for abortion
Heart braking.
This November? Better than next November.
It will make the “right” to mutilate children into law. The selfish single issue women do not care their vote is being used to tear down humanity
true
“Abortion issues will get women, including suburban women, to vote in massive numbers, and not in a good way.”
Absolutely true.
These suburban women don’t seem to care about getting car-jacked or their kids being given gender modification treatment or therapy behind their back - but they’re sure obsessed with the abortion issue.
Polls are all garbage. And Early voting is a great indication that the results are fixed.
We saw it then. Requiring 60% to change the constitution seemed like a very common sense proposal. A lot of Republicans fell for the rat talking point that it was just a sneaky way to defeat prop 1. So here we are, abortion up until the moment of birth and minor genitalia mutilation will be part the Ohio Constitution .
Fools.
Allowing women to vote was The single biggest mistake this country ever made.
Meanwhile on Issue 2 theyve not heard the good news fromCA and numerous other places. Pass this and your cities will reek of dope and you’ll be actively encouraging a generation of zoned out losers in your population
They’ve put this into an off-year election where a lot of people aren’t otherwise motivated. On my ballot there’s three county offices with incumbents running unopposed, and this abortion referendum. Same trick our school boards use to sneak new millages through when nobody’s looking.
Yes, I read the language on my ballot. It will make Ohio a destination state for the most gruesome of abortion procedures. I’ll bet not one in ten women who vote “yes” understand that.
Next the hoplophobes will use this egregious flaw in the Ohio constitution to repeal Constitutional Carry and who knows what-all else.
Sixty years ago a sexual revolution swept America, the result of Baby Boomers reaching puberty at the same time. By the late 1960s, American sexual behavior was similar to France or Sweden.
The battle over abortion started in the states where legislatures, fearing the power of the churches, handed the issue to the people via referendum. The voters spoke, and abortion restrictions fell in state after state via the initiative and referendum mechanisms.
The battle royale was New York state where it had to be fought in the legislature. New York doesn't use the initiative mechanism and only uses the referendum mechanism for bond issues. This was a knock-down drag-out brawl that played out at family dinner tables. The legislature loosened restrictions, and Gov. Rockefeller signed the law. Abortion opponents threatened consequences at the next election but only showed how toothless they were when nothing happened.
The US Supreme Court should have stayed out of it by refusing to accept Roe v. Wade and punting it back to the Texas courts. But having created a national right to abortion on demand and without apology, two generations of women came to believe they possessed that right. Men and women were glad to have abortion as a backstop for sexual freedom. Having experienced sexual freedom, people did not want to give it up, so you needed to have a good reason to take away what people perceived to be a right.
Most arguments against abortion are based on religious belief. Catholics used to be the largest faith in America, but now Unbelief has replaced them as Number One. Unbelief is also the fastest growing "religion" in America. For many, God the Hairy Thunderer has been replaced by God the Cosmic Muffin. It’s hard to make an effective religious argument against abortion when so many have put religion aside for a secular or so-called “spiritual” approach.
To really end abortion, you need to convince people to end sexual freedom, erase the 1960s and return to an earlier, traditional frame of morality. That’s a hard sell. Once the cat is out of the bag, as a rule it doesn't want to go back in.
Propaganda and Institutional control works.
The left no longer has to impose their agenda of abortion and dope on an unwilling population.
They willingly vote for it.
The people of America are being given opportunities to express their opposition to these destructive agendas. And they are failing.
