Ohioans will decide on Tuesday whether abortion access will be enshrined into the state constitution in a vote that has captured the attention of the entire country post Roe.
Ohio voters will head to the voting booth on Tuesday to vote on a measure that will enshrine abortion access into the state’s constitution in an election that is believed to be a bellwether for how states will be governed on abortion post the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Last month, a bipartisan group of 100 Black pastors signed a letter opposing Issue 1 writing that it is 'more extreme than Roe v. Wade' and 'will allow for painful, late-term abortions through all nine months of pregnancy – even after an unborn baby can feel pain.' 'It will permit our children to undergo abortions without parents knowing. And it will continue to rob generations of Black women and men of the insurmountable joy of parenthood,' the letter said.
The battleground on abortion shifted to the states last summer, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its Roe v. Wade decision, erasing federal abortion protections that had been in place for half a century. Since then, voters in six states — California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana and Vermont — have either supported measures protecting abortion rights or rejected efforts aimed at eroding access.
