Ohio vote tests abortion question one year ahead of 2024 race

Defining the News

FALLS CHURCH, VA - JUNE 18: Devona Smith, 20, with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights holds a baby doll, which the group said represented forced births, while marching to the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on June 18, 2022 in Falls Church, Virginia. According to the Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights group, the dolls represent forced births. Abortion-rights protests at the homes of conservative justices have become common since a leaked, draft decision indicated the court may overturn Roe vs.

The US Supreme Court revoked the national right to abortion last year when it overturned the 1970s Roe vs Wade case, sending the decision on its legality back to each individual state. The law is currently suspended as it winds its way through legal challenges, meaning that for now it is still possible to obtain an abortion in Ohio up to about 22 weeks of pregnancy.

The amendment would allow for the prohibition of abortion after “fetal viability” — when a fetus is able to survive on its own outside the womb — unless a doctor believes a pregnant patient’s life or health is in danger. Supporters of Issue 1, as the amendment is called, have focused their messaging on preventing the government from interfering in residents’ personal medical decisions.

Issue 1 “gives families the freedom to make their own decisions without judgment and without the government getting involved. Vote yes,” he urged.
