Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome of Tuesday’s intense, off-year election was the latest blow for abortion opponents.
The Republicans in charge in Ohio brought this on themselves when they passed their absurd 6 week abortion ban with no exceptions for rape and incest. The citizen-initiated constitutional amendment gathered steam as a direct result of that.
The lesson should be: when you pander to the extremists in your party, you actually accomplish the opposite of what you wanted.
