Glad people saw through the lies opponents were spewing. Ohio hasn’t had many blue victories, but I’m glad this was one.

Plus, recreational marijuana is passing as well. Sadly, that’s a statute and not amendment, so the dickheads in the legislature will probably fuck with it.

Ohio won't host your incest babies. Good on you, Ohio.

go to conservative spaces now and watch them try to walk "ABORTION IS MURDER, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION" back to "well from the beginning our goal was only ever to return sovereignty to the states."

they stand for nothing, and they're getting what they deserve but not nearly enough of it

As expected it took only hours for the Rs in the statehouse to say they will fight the voters...yet again. Time to vote them all out at every level.

Ohio is not an expensive place to move to comparatively, not yet anyway. I think this gives a lot of hope and options to people living around Ohio to move there for the safety and the grass. These two laws together, despite the GOPs best efforts, make Ohio an attractive option and the states gonna see growth as people and buisness take advantage of that.

Recreational weed was on the same ballot and both passed. Ohio actually managed to do two things right, which is a pleasant change of pace.

too bad this does no one good anywhere else

some people are stuck in the states they are in and some are even unable to vote or to move or both or whatever

now reproductive health and cannabis laws look the same hope you win the state birth lottery and be born in a great state

and just like voting blame who lives in the said state for how much of a crapshoot it is not the ones in charge of the politicians

Catholic Biden has definitely been a champion for abortion rights sure he will ride this wave to attempt a 2024 win
