Yesterday, Ohio voters rejected a ballot measure that would require 60% of the plebiscite to approve a change in their state constitution instead of a simple majority. The state legislature placed this matter on the ballot to prevent a citizen initiative that will give women the right to seek an abortion.
Ohio joins red states Kansas and Kentucky, which have also rejected measures under which the state constitution creates no woman's right to choose.
The hard-right's war against letting a woman make her own decision, appears to be a loser.

Right to choose? You mean a woman's right to choose to have an abortion butcher murder a baby by tearing the baby limb-from-limb? That choice?
No, the innocent babies are the losers.
Abortion kills blacks far more blacks than whites, per percentage of population. Ohio knows this. Shooting blacks is illegal. Abortion is far more effective in keeping this problematic population in check. At a steady 13%, it works like a charm. I'm a Democrat who is not afraid to say what most are thinking. Fewer blacks is better for everybody. Vote Democrat. Black lives matter. Keep those lives in check for a flawed population.
The war against women will be the GOP’s downfall. Keep your religious beliefs to yourselves. Women didn’t get this far to go backwards and we aren’t going back to back alley abortions! Abortions are healthcare!
This story was not mentioned on FOX News last night so I doubt it really happened. In other news, Hunter Biden was spotted leading a group of transvestite illegal immigrants over the border in Arizona, each carrying a couple keys of coke!
Glad Ohioans voted again this effort by the GOP to try and win corruptly! Majority votes are fine! People in Ohio want to play by fair rules! Democracy wins!
This is a sad moment for Ohio.
Hooray for Ohio!
Bernie the real issue here not abortion. It is what Alexis de Tocqueville warned us against - Tyranny of the Majority.
That's why the Senate filibuster is so important as well as the electoral college. We cannot allot 50.01% to dictate with impunity. This is the greatest threat to our democracy, not Trump or Biden.
Right to choose! Exactly that is okay with me and more importantly it’s what Women want!
Wake up and get out of the cave @12:35.
Not Healthcare for innocent babies. Deathcare.

"Most" are not thinking anything except that you are a vile racist who hopes to use that for political advantage. It's not going to work, my little Republican.
You might be registered as a Democrat, however, you identify as a Republican
Keep up the good work Republicans
@5:29 - You're really turning yourself into a pretzel with your feeble attempt at reverse logic.
@12:35AM - Use whatever words you need to describe it, clearly you wouldn't make that choice. I hope and pray that others are never in a situation where they need to make that choice, but like a lot of things in this country, people are free to choose what they want to do and how they want to do it, whether you or I agree with it or not.
@1:26AM - Yes those innocent fetuses are the losers, yet once they're born to a mother who has no means (and in some cases - desire) to support them, where is your care and concern? Are you OK with welfare expenses increasing? There are direct links as well that show poverty and crime rates going hand in hand. Your thoughts on lawlessness in our cities? You can't be a hypocrite and be "Pro-Life" but at the same time not acknowledge the cost and burden to society of the innocent souls you believe to have saved.
Ah, yes, the hypocrisy of the “pro-life” movement…
Let me count the ways…
— Imprison or execute women who access safe abortion care.
—Tear babies away from their parents and lock them in cages, with no plan to reunite them.
—Silence doctors and strip reproductive healthcare away from millions of low-income people.
—Stand by while the maternal mortality rates skyrocket and women—especially Black women, die in childbirth.
—Deny affordable healthcare coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
—Cut programs that feed hungry kids.Block access to HIV testing and treatment across the globe.
—Incite far-right violence with lies about abortion.
Don’t ever say you’re pro-life…ever.
Applying the term pro-life to someone who doesn’t support the butchering of 850,000 unborn children every year, is more palatable than accepting the fact that those 850,000 women who would actually do it, consider it a “choice.”
I firmly believe that there is a collective guilt amongst those cold souls who have terminated the lives of 65,000,000 of their own unborn children. And we see their instability printed here.
With Republicans, life begins at conception and ends at birth. After that, they don't give a rat's ass about that newborn child.
Ladies.
Stop killing your babies.
Catholic leaders hate abortion because it cuts down on the supply of alter boys.
"With Republicans, life begins at conception and ends at birth. After that, they don't give a rat's ass about that newborn child."
You win the comments.
Spoken like a true Democrat idiot.
You know what I find cold? The audacity that you’ve mustered up to believe your opinion matters when it comes to a woman’s bodily autonomy.
Oligarchs have convinced your feeble mind that a zygote is “life”, and they’ve indoctrinated you to do their bidding, while they sit on the sidelines accruing more wealth at the hands of its cattle.
You are, indeed, their cattle. And once you’re no use to them, they promise you ten years of “freedom” in the form of retirement. And they’re trying to take that away from you too.
But you’re brainwashed, you don’t know a better.
The entire abortion issue really does illustrate how snowed under many supposed "Republicans" actually are. For a party that supposedly represents personal accountability and limited rule, law and regulation over personal liberties, they ignore all of it when it comes to abortion.
Much of todays Republican base simply can only grasp one singular concept - If Democrats are for it, I'm against it. Its self defeating and election after election they are being punished for it only to continue doubling down on the next one with the same loser strategy.
I’ve said this plenty of times on here before. It’s not about politics anymore, it’s about “winning” by any means necessary.
There’s no way twenty years ago Donald Trump would have been considered a viable candidate in ANY election, but here we are in 2023, making him a front runner again, because democrats hate him.
I mean, they made an enemy out of a Fauci, a world renowned scientist. Because Trump and Fox told them to.
Anti-intellectualism is a real problem in this country, and we’re going backwards.
8:38 you see why Bernie voted for Biden.
You sound….guilt ridden.
