#issue1
U.S Politics, 2024 elections, OH
It felt soooo good to vote for #KamalaHarris, #SherrodBrown, #Issue1, and #Issue47! We're going to win this thing!
Weeks after #Ohio overwhelmingly voted to enshrine a right to #abortion in the state Constitution, abortion rights have secured another important win:
On Friday, the state Supreme Court dismissed a demand from the state to be able to enforce its six-week #ban, which has been blocked by an injunction from a lower court in Hamilton County since September 2022.
Explaining their decision to dismiss the state’s appeal, the state Supreme Court justices cited “a change in the law,” apparently referring to the successful abortion rights ballot measure, #Issue1.

After Ohio Supreme Court dismisses anti-abortion arguments due to passage of #Issue1, anti-abortion groups work with Ohio lawmakers to unveil total abortion ban by using the equal protection provision in the US Constitution and new laws defining personhood· Some say it could work., esp with conservative makeup of state & federal Supreme Courts. #Issue1 #Ohio #OHPol #USPol https://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-ohio/after-ohio-supreme-court-dismisses-anti-abortion-arguments-advocates-work-to-unveil-total-abortion-ban
It’s the latest development in the struggle over abortion rights between Ohio’s Republican-dominated legislature and the majority of the voters, who passed the amendment by a margin of 57% to 43%:
“To prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with [the amendment], Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary over this ambiguous ballot initiative,” said the mix of fairly new and veteran lawmakers who are all vice-chairs of various house committees. “The Ohio legislature alone will consider what, if any, modifications to make to existing laws based on public hearings and input from legal experts on both sides.”
The statement also contained unsubstantiated references to “foreign election interference” by billionaires before voters enshrined abortion rights in Ohio’s constitution.
Abortion rights advocates plan to ask the courts to repeal any remaining abortion bans and restrictions on the books in Ohio, including a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before abortion seekers can have the procedure and a ban on abortions after a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome
“The #issue1 effort sought to stem attempts by both state & federal officials to regulate abortion through the use of bans and/or limits, & continue a burgeoning trend in the country that saw usual Republican strongholds like #kentucky and #kansas pass abortion rights measures by overwhelming numbers….” #ohio #abortionrights
FVCK You, Mike Dewine. Fran, too
Any respect, &there was barely a thread, I had of either of you is gone for the deliberate lying you did in those TV commercials against #issue1, cementing Woman's reproductive healthcare into the #Ohio constitution, including choice on abortion, contraception, fertility treatment, miscarriage care and continuing a pregnancy
Please know I'm baking Fran's covid cookie recipe & gifting cookies with pot in them for Xmas #issue2. I'm calling them #FransDevilsPucks
️ Local news is calling Yes for #Ohio #Issue1!
Woman's reproductive healthcare will be cemented into the #Ohio constitution, including choice on abortion, contraception, fertility treatment, miscarriage care and continuing a pregnancy. It also will prohibit the state from interfering or penalizing anyone who exercises these rights.
I voted Yes!

My hot take is that the Senate GOP's resolve to change the rules to stop Tuberville's blockade of military promotions will hinge at least partially on the outcome of #Issue1 in Ohio.
