Mapping the many attempts by Ohio Republicans to suppress voters demands for abortion rights

Four MAGA Republicans say they will be the judges of Ohio’s abortion laws...

"Republicans in Ohio want to undermine the will of voters who approved a measure enshrining reproductive freedom into the state’s constitution. Ohio Republicans are claiming a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights, which was approved by voters in Tuesday’s election, doesn’t actually do that — and they’re promising to take steps to prevent the legal protection of reproductive freedom in the state." - Rolling Stone

“Extreme politicians’ delusions of absolute power threaten the very fabric of American democracy and the individual freedom and liberty of citizens. “Instead of creating a constitutional crisis with desperate, anti-American attacks on the rule of law and the power of citizens, out-of-touch politicians should work to uphold the bipartisan will of the People by respecting healthcare decisions between women and their doctors.” - Allison Russo, House Democratic Minority Leader. - The Plain Dealer Cleveland

    Republican dirty tricks to steal Americans' freedoms

    "Ohio is not the only state where Republicans are attempting to undermine pro-choice ballot initiatives endorsed by constituents. In Michigan, two anti-choice activist groups are working with Republican lawmakers to sue the state and block the implementation of that state’s voter-approved constitutional amendment.  Ballot measures supporting reproductive freedom have been approved in all seven states where they have been put to voters. Despite Republicans claiming that the end of Roe signified the return of the abortion issue to the will of individual states, they clearly remain determined to undermine reproductive rights no matter what any state’s voters have to say about them." - Rolling Stone

    Right wing extremists cherry-pick the courts to push their unpopular demands

    “It shouldn’t be lost on people that these right-wing organizations and radical Republicans in the Michigan Legislature are cherry-picking courts to try to once again overturn a constitutionally guaranteed right because they can’t win with voters.” - Stacey LaRouche, press secretary to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, told The Detroit News. - Rolling Stone
