Quick Glance: Ohio GOP's Abortion Strategy Fails
  • Republicans faced a dilemma on abortion rights in 2022, which was evident in the ballot measures.

  • Last week, it was revealed that 57% of Ohioans opposed State Issue 1, which includes raising the threshold for ballot measures and other restrictions, compared to 26% in favor.
