If you voted to support abortion, and you're a Republican, then look at this and recognize that you're supporting a political party that does not enact the wills of the people.

And to others, I know, this won't reach them, but that's on them.
There are Republicans on liberal-orientated places. I find them all the time. You'd probably be banned posting this in a conservative place and get this post removed.
I thought the GOP already came out and said they will put strict limits on the strength and availability of any THC product.
GOP: It might be legal, but you’re gonna pay through the nose for it, it’s going to be comparatively weak, so you have to buy a lot, but we’ll put a limit to the amount that can be purchased at any one time so you can’t even get therapeutic doses.
They've been bemoaning the fact we have Democracy lately. They're playing up the Republic angle, and believe the People can't make the correct decisions for themselves.
Without yet another amendment, how exactly does the Assembly, the legislative branch of Ohio’s government, intend to strip jurisdiction from the Ohio Supreme Court, the judicial branch of Ohio’s government?
The State’s Constitution establishes the jurisdiction for the high court and separation of powers prevent tampering.
Weird, courts are going to be implementing - or not - the actual procedure? I say doctors should just give a middle finger to these GOP "lawmakers".
But this is classic Republican horse manure. Will of the people? Fuck that. Must be "foreign election interference". Remember how they kept gaslighting over the "Russian hoax", even if Mueller's unredacted report does not claim it to be a hoax? Then, baby hands loses in 2020 and it must be Chavez' election machines rigging the election...projection, always projection.
Alex Jones was claiming (without any evidence, like he always does) that because Kentucky re-elected our Democratic governor, that it proves there was election fraud. Like, hey you fucking dumbass, why would someone interfere to elect a Democrat as a governor and let every single other statewide office go to a Republican?
The GOP has completely lost the plot. Get ready for them to claim every election they lose as "stolen" or "rigged" for the rest of your life. Or (hopefully) the rest of their existence.
Absolutely double down on this loser position, please, until you're voted the fuck out.
Good luck. While I haven't combed through the Ohio constitution, I hope the legislative branch can't just remove the judicial, whole or piecemeal. Checks and balances and all that. But if you pull it off at least we can stop pretending this is a functional democracy of any kind, and all we have to sacrifice is Ohio. Maybe it'll wake up a few people who still think there's a middle ground to be found with the GOP.
As an Ohioan, they will not be voted out. The state legislature has gerrymandered both houses to ensure a clear majority. This is why they throw tantrums like this. Their only worry is being primaried from the right. This is despite a constitutional amendment that was supposed to eliminate gerrymandering, but was really engineered by senate president Matt Huffman to be able to be ignored.
Ohio’s best bet is a new anti-gerrymandering amendment likely to be before voters that will completely remove politicians from the process.

I know this was recently cleared to start collecting signatures. Do you know where that's being coordinated or where I might be able to find places I can sign?
I'm proud to say I signed the issue 1 petition and voted for it. Would like to keep the momentum going and do the same with the redistricting proposal.
The problem is people will still do nothing about it so long as it doesn’t directly affect them.
Politicians have been insanely successful at making people not give a damn about others for a long time now. Unless the Federal democracy is attacked, I doubt people will do much elsewhere.
It's kind of insane how we're at the point where this would affect about 50.7% of the population or more, yet rhetoric towards oppressing this group is popular and competitive in the political sphere. What collective delusion do people need to have to think that "oh, If I, or my wife or my friends ever need an abortion, they'll treat it as a special circumstance/exception"???
Several Ohio Republican lawmakers are proposing to strip courts of the authority to review cases related to implementing the newly passed Issue 1 abortion amendment.
In a statement released Thursday, four GOP lawmakers claimed without evidence that there was “foreign election interference” in the vote to pass Issue 1, and threatened to block the ability of courts to interpret the new constitutional amendment.
It creates a constitutional right to reproductive freedom in the state, which protects decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing a pregnancy, miscarriage care and abortion up to the point of fetal viability.
“The amendment’s language is dangerously vague and unconstrained, and can be weaponized to attack parental rights or defend rapists, pedophiles, and human traffickers.”
In a separate statement, Senate President Matt Huffman (R) said the measure’s passage was “just the beginning of a revolving door of ballot campaigns to repeal or replace Issue 1.”
Issue 1 will take effect in December, but it won’t be implemented until courts apply the new constitutional standard to abortion-related lawsuits, most notably the one challenging the current ban.
