Abortion access and marijuana legalization are on the ballot. Issue 1 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would give every person “the right to make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions.'
FILE-Protesters hold placards expressing their opinion at a pro abortion rights rally. People from many different cities gathered to support and rally for abortion rights in 2022. Heavier-than-normal turnout is expected Wednesday as early voting begins in Ohio's closely watched off-year election to decide the future of abortion access and marijuana legalization in the state.
Both sides tried to gin up enthusiasm over the past week as they hosted rallies and canvassing events across the state.Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights, the yes campaign, emphasizes the measure's ability to keep Ohio's ban on most abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detected from taking effect. A judge's order has placed the 2019 law on hold, but the Ohio Supreme Court is considering whether to lift that stay.
The opposition campaign, Protect Women Ohio, has zeroed in on questions raised by Issue 1's loose wording, citing legal theories — as yet, untested — that passing the amendment would jeopardize Ohio's parental consent requirements for minors receiving abortions and other types of medical care.
