Wow.
Read the fine print.
This isn’t, or isn’t just, about abortion.
Stupid Republicans aren’t even active on this issue. No wonder we lose
Good this is on the ballot this year or Ohio might be gone for 2024
The Ohio constitution has historically been too easy to amend. Since revision in 1855 there have been three added articles and 170 amendments. While this vote has been triggered as a defense against a pro abortion amendment, it remains true that the constitution should not be used merely as a repository of policy preferences. It should codify the structure and function of the constituted government body in question. A bar of 60% instead of 50%+1, serves this good purpose.
Always be ready to return to our roots.
If Issue 1 fails, the Sodomite and Jezebel driven mob in Ohio will come for all the unfashionable liberties....
I doubt then that few of us will die a peaceful death. Remember the codified COVID insanity?
They will come for us again.
They have lost SCOTUS and are slowly losing their “interpretive dance” constitutional law to the originalists.
They scamper now with their $$billions to the Red States for surprise attacks on Western Civ.
Always be ready to become a Dissenter.
“Dissenter
A dissenter is one who dissents in matters of opinion, belief, etc. Dissent may include political opposition to decrees, ideas or doctrines and it may include opposition to those things or the fiat of a government, political party or religion.”
Dissenters are historically chopped, burned, shot, skewered, crucified, etc for their unbending beliefs.
Do not bend.
Better to die on your feet than live on your knees....or worse.
When they come for you.....let them come.
But, that is just my opinion and I do not feel strongly about it.
Any indicators on how this one will go? Conservatives have got to do a better job voting in these off-year/special elections.
