(Please let me know if there are any broken links or incorrect or incomplete information) (Thanks to RandySF for the info)
Whats at stake:
Voters in the Buckeye State will decide whether to enshrine abortion protections into the state constitution (via Issue 1) or be the first to reject an abortion-rights measure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Anti-abortion groups are banking on Ohio to end the movements run of state-level losses and create a blueprint for battles in 2024 and beyond.
