Will they realize the real take away here: when you give the voters power they don't want abortion bans. They want the opposite.
The Ohio Republican party is going to try to find any way they can to stop this from taking effect, but when will they finally realize that abortion rights are popular? When will they realize overturning RoevWade is an albatross around their neck? They just got destroyed in a red state. It will happen every time it comes up to a vote. They just don't get it.
Democrats should try to get an amendment like this on every single ballot for 2024 because it would lead to a bloodbath.
The result from this vote tells me that Ohio isn't red out of pure population ideology but because of unfair voting districts.
It's more complicated than that. Gerrymandering doesn't affect state-level votes like governor or president.
I think what this reveals more is that there are a non-trivial amount of voters who generally support Republicans but who will support abortion rights when asked specifically about them, even if they wouldn't otherwise vote for a Democrat.
Just wait until you dig into the absolute fuckery the Ohio GOP has pulled to in order to keep those districts unfair.
Ohio used to be widely known as a swing state, even with the fucked up gerrymandering. It's been pretty solidly red since Trump was in office, but historically Ohio was pretty purple before that.
Gerrymandering doesn’t impact statewide races, only house races. They still went for Trump and elected a Republican senator. They also have a Republican governor.
Ok, but I said before Trump was in office, Ohio was historically pretty purple. In the 50 years before Trump, Ohio voted for the Democratic presidential candidate 5 times, and the Republican candidate 5 times. In the same time frame, the state has had 3 Democratic governors to 4 Republican. The state has largely been split between the two parties for a vast majority of it's history.
They don't care what people want.
they care about what a fascistic minority wants that could help them get into power
It depends on the location. Ohio isn't really that conservative, it's mostly lolbertarian meth towns.
That's because Ohio is just western Connecticut.
More than anything, when will they realize that the game is up? We know they don't actually care about children. We know they just want to make women second class citizens again. We aren't idiots
