  1. A ballot measure seeking to enshrine abortion protections into Ohio’s state constitution is projected to pass, according to Decision Desk HQ, delivering a major win for Democrats and abortion rights advocates ahead of 2024.

  2. A great day for Patriotic Ohioans and freedom lovers everywhere.

  3. Definitely shows which way the wind is blowing as far as abortion is concerned.

  4. Get FUCKED Mike DeWine.

    I cannot emphasize how evil this shitstain of a governor is, and to see his pride and joy of ignoring women’s rights be snuffed out… that makes dealing with his bullshit all the more bearable.

  5. Pro life is a losing political position and these pissed off pro choice voters will help Biden crush Trump.

  6. And expected to pass Issue 2 as well.

    Legally protected abortion and legal weed. My state just got much cooler. Be great if we weren’t gerrymandered to hell!

  7. The Freedom and Liberty party is having another bad night after trying to force 10 year olds to give birth. Wow. Who would have thought?

  8. Fuck. Yes.

    Congrats Ohio! Way to send those Far-Right kooks packing!

  9. Not gonna lie this was my biggest source of anxiety over the last couple weeks as an Ohioan.

    Watching the Yes votes being ahead by an even wider margin than on Issue 2 was extremely cathartic.

  10. Proud of you Ohio. A win for women everywhere in this country.

  11. Everyone get in here, we’re shitting on woman hating theocrats! woohooo! Good job ohio!

  12. In 2024 it would be beneficial for democrats to run on abortion rights.

  13. What is this feeling I have? Is…is this pride? Am I actually proud of Ohio rn?

  14. Despite Frank LaRose and the state GOP putting their ~~thumb~~ whole ass on the scale, the voters have spoken resoundingly.

  15. Good stuff Ohio. Glad to see voters care about women’s rights.

  16. I really didn’t know how this would go. I know too many rural folk/family that are adamantly against issue 1. It made me really nervous. So relieved tonight.

  17. Lol 0 and 2 on the midterms. Tell me how that MAGA platform is working

  18. Take note America, we haven’t gone fully red yet. Plenty of us are fighting to keep this state purple at worst.

  19. Hey Ohio. Michigan here. Great work. Job well done! Keep fighting

  20. LaRose gave them (and himself) a do-over and people told them to fuck off a second time. Will of the people, pal. Tough break.

  21. Looking at the exit polling for this is really interesting. Literally, the only demographic with a majority pulling for an abortion ban is old, white, uneducated, christian men. There’s sizeable support coming from old, white, uneducated, christian women, but even they aren’t the majority in their demographic. It’s really telling.

  22. As a woman who had to travel out of state to terminate a lethal pregnancy this October, I can proudly say FUCK YOU MIKE DEWINE.
