“[It’s] taking away the rights of all families, all people who want to make family planning decisions,” said state Sen. Nickie Antonio, a Lakewood Democrat.
Similar events took place across the country, but in Ohio, the rallies have taken on extra meaning due to the ongoing battle over Issue 1, which if passed by voters, would make it more difficult for state lawmakers to pass a constitutional amendment.
Instead of the current simple majority of just over 50% needed to pass amendments, Issue 1 would increase the requirement to 60%, a supermajority. The proposal would set a new voting threshold for any amendment to the state’s, but some Republicans have admitted it’s designed to circumvent changes to the state’s abortion laws in the GOP majority legislature.
“We don’t want to see a really radical abortion amendment put in our state constitution,” said Republican Secretary of State Frank Larose. “This is about protecting our state constitution from out-of-state special interests.”
