'As the political season ramps up, reproductive rights activists and anti-abortion advocates are preparing for a high-stakes November Ohio election, where voters will decide on whether or not to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution.
Both anti-abortion and pro-choice groups say the strategy for November is all about education. For anti-abortion activists that means focusing on how the reproductive rights amendment, known as Issue 1, supposedly allows for the “loss of parental rights'' and “late-term abortions,” two ideas that scholars and pro-abortion advocates have described to The Messenger as “scare tactics.”
And for those in favor of enshrining abortion rights into the constitution, it’s about educating Ohioans on things like the election calendar and Ohio’s voter ID laws, ensuring voters are aware of their opportunities to cast a ballot.
The resounding defeat of a measure voted on during an August special-election, also known as Issue 1, that would have increased the threshold to amend the constitution from a simple majority to a 60% majority, removed a major roadblock for the passage of abortion rights amendment. The result of the special election was a significant loss for the anti-abortion movement, the latest in a series of setbacks that has called into question the ineffectiveness of anti-abortion messaging in the wake of the Supreme Court’s June 2022 verdict in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, ending the national right to abortion.'
Republicans resort to fearmongering and lies, Democrats go to get-out-the-vote.
