The proposal would have stopped an abortion amendment that allows abortion up to 23 to 24 weeks is on the November ballot.
Ohio’s Issue 1 failed when 56% of the voters rejected it. The measure would have made it easier to change the state’s constitution.
The measure required 60% of voters to enact any new amendments to the constitution instead of a simple majority. It would have also changed how people can gather signatures for citizen amendments.The Republicans admitted the proposal was to protect life in November. That’s because November’s ballot has abortion on it. It will likely pass because 57.6% of people polled support it.The proposed amendment would protect access to abortion and other reproductive decisions through viability, which is when a doctor determines a fetus can survive outside the uterus with reasonable measures. That is typically 23 to 24 weeks into pregnancy. Abortions could be performed after that point to save the patient’s life or health.
Ohio’s legislature has passed many human-saving laws in the past decade. In 2019, one restricted abortion to when a doctor can detect cardiac activity. Any woman who has been pregnant knows that happens at her six-week appointment.But again, be careful what you wish for, abortion advocates. That addition might go away in the future.
