Ohio Delivers For Dems On Abortion And Marijuana.
“A majority of Ohio voters on Tuesday chose to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution and legalize recreational marijuana.
Almost immediately, the state’s top Republican leaders promised they would try to unravel what voters approved.

Unofficial results show about 56% of voters backed Issue 1, a constitutional amendment that codifies the right to abortion access and other reproductive health care. Issue 2, which also passed with 56% of the vote, is a state law that will allow adults 21 and older to buy, possess and grow marijuana. Both take effect in 30 days.”
Ohio and other Red States have proven to go along with far right ideology only up to a point and the Tuesday’s vote again proves that abortion is a thorny subject for Republicans nationwide. When reproductive rights are on the ballot they tend to lose races that may have otherwise been winnable. The 2024 elections will see a slew of Democrats who want abortion to be on the minds of voters and Republicans who now back away and minimize previously harsh anti-choice rhetoric.
