Voters in Ohio went to the polls to decide whether to approve a measure known as Issue 1​ that would raise the bar for constitutional amendments on the ballot. In the ultimate irony, the votes against changing the amendment process exceeded the 60% supermajority that the measure was seeking in the first place

    Yeah exactly what I predicted has happened. People who were “pro-life” and protesting were still able to get abortions when they needed it. And they were taking advantage of that. But now their shitty decisions are actually affecting them, and not just every other woman who is a “murderer” but their abortion is different, and so they are not very happy that they got what they wanted.

    People OVERWHELMINGLY want abortion to remain legal. Every time it’s on the ballot people vote to keep it legal. That’s why Republicans are trying so hard to keep it off the ballot or require a super majority of the vote. They know it’s unpopular.
