“Almost everybody that voted no [on Issue 1] will vote yes [on abortion rights] in November.”
COLUMBUS, OH — MAY 14, 2022: Hundreds gather at a rally to support abortion rights less than two weeks after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion showed a likely reversal of Roe v. Wade, May 14, 2022, at the Ohio Statehouse, Columbus, Ohio.That’s the sentiment on both sides of the Issue 1 fight, who have now pledged to come out of the ballot measure’s defeat and move on to the abortion referendum in November. Both, unsurprisingly, expect to come out ahead.
According to the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office, 58,073 absentee and provisional ballots have yet to be counted, but the rejection of Issue 1 holds an insurmountable 430,000 vote lead. The defeat of Issue 1 means the status quo continues in Ohio, with no changes to the requirements to approve a constitutional amendment, and signature campaign requirements of 44 of 88 counties in the state remaining as they were before the ballot measure.
