“The wording was not clear. I heard several people saying they were voting against it, even though they are anti-abortion.”
If the wording was not clear, it would have been unclear to the same proportion of voters on both sides of the issue.
I don't think so. I think the "default" position on amendments is "no". If people don't understand it, they just vote NO.
I voted for it. But, I'm not distressed by it going down. It doesn't change anything.
