Quietly purging nearly 27,000 Ohioans from the voter rolls late last month, even as some voting had already begun in the Nov. 7 election, was dirty pool.
The questionably timed expulsion of inactive voters — ahead of a statewide vote on abortion rights — was ordered by a vocal opponent of that ballot referendumthe usual public notice before or after the cancellation of thousands of registrations. Why?
State Republicans cannot abide with the right of every woman to “make and carry out” her own decisions about abortion or reproductive care. They aim to abolish abortion altogether without exceptions for rape or incest. And they fully expect their near total abortion ban, signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine and temporarily suspended by litigation, to be reinstated by the Republican majority on the Ohio Supreme Court.
If the amendment to protect that freedom wins a majority of votes, the right to abortion with restrictions — basically the law of the land for 50 years before Roe v. Wade was overturned — will be restored in Ohio.
