"Critical Votes in Ohio Could Determine Abortion Access"

Supporters of abortion access in Ohio have filed over 700,000 signatures to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot, surpassing the required number of signatures. The proposed amendment aims to ensure reproductive rights, including abortion, contraception, and miscarriage care. The measure is a response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to return abortion decisions to the states and the numerous abortion restrictions imposed by Ohio's GOP-controlled Legislature. Opponents criticize the measure as an "extreme anti-parent amendment" and claim it relies on paid signature collectors. The signatures will be checked for validity, and if approved, Ohio could be the only state voting on abortion this year.
