Republicans have figured out that this is a losing issue for them.
not the Ohio legislature, where gerrymandering keeps them safe. Most of rural Ohio should be napalmed, it can’t be salvaged.

they protected abortion rights too recently. Is Ohio on a redemption arc?
are trying to protect abortion rights, it’s a mess with the abortion ban still being law but made unenforceable by this constitutional amendment but also GOP members of Ohio’s general assembly are doing something with the implementation of the referendum for a constitutional amendment that may make the ban enforceable so the matter hasn’t been settled yet
