I’m pro-Life but this ballot issue was very restrictive. Even if your child is raped and is pregnant from that violation, she cannot have an abortion in Ohio under current law. To me, there’s tough balance point between gov’t intervention in something as private as this decision is and my pro-life position. Had the issue had some middle ground and not the either/or stance, I think it would have been defeated.
Whomever wrote it, meant to damage the GOP.
And you wonder why we call it, “The Stupid Party”.
If, God forbid, your child was raped...
And if, God forbid, you decided that your grandchild should be killed to somehow fix the situation...
Why on earth would you wait longer than 6 weeks to do something about it?
Current Ohio law would allow you take abortion pills or get an abortion up until 6 weeks.
They should be smart about it. Trump has been saying it for awhile now and he’s right. Put up a ballot initiative that prevents abortion during delivery unless the life of the mother is in jeopardy. That’s a win in the books and you work from there. 9 months. No abortions in the 10th month. Build momentum. Starting with a 6 week ban is obviously not a strategy that is working.
So now we have unfettered access to abortion on demand.
