14 Days Until Ohio Referendum on Reproductive Rights! [View all]

[Wednesdays]

(Please let me know if there are any broken links or incorrect or incomplete information) (Thanks to RandySF for the info)

What’s at stake:

Voters in the Buckeye State will decide whether to enshrine abortion protections into the state constitution (via “Issue 1”) or be the first to reject an abortion-rights measure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Anti-abortion groups are banking on Ohio to end the movement’s run of state-level losses and create a blueprint for battles in 2024 and beyond.
