There’s been another anti-democratic attack on abortion rights in Ohio, John.
After pro-choice activists started working to put a constitutional amendment guaranteeing reproductive rights on the November ballot, the GOP is pushing to reinstate an August special election to raise the threshold for constitutional amendments.
Governor DeWine and the GOP removed special elections for wasting resources, but knowing abortion rights will win a majority at the ballot box, they’ve decided to change the rules. This is a brazen violation of democratic principles, John.
A bipartisan group of former Ohio governors, including John Kasich, Bob Taft, Dick Celeste, Ted Strickland, and more, have come out against this opportunistic move of raising the constitutional threshold.
Despite this bipartisan backlash, Republicans are moving forward with their plan. This only further proves that Congress needs to federally protect abortion rights with the Women’s Health Protection Act.
Will you sign our petition demanding Congress pass the Women’s Health Protection Act? By protecting reproductive rights at the federal level, we can beat the Ohio GOP’s underhanded tactics aimed at suppressing our rights.
