Abortion Rights Advocates Gain Momentum With Ohio Win, But Face Continued Republican Opposition

Ohioans rejected a Republican-led ballot measure that would have raised the threshold to amend the state constitution, making it easier to codify abortion rights.
State votes on abortion since the overturning of Roe v. Wade have consistently gone in favor of protecting abortion rights.
Some Republicans are dissatisfied that public opinion is not aligning with their anti-abortion agenda and blame outside factors.
Abortion rights advocates believe the issue will continue to drive high voter turnout, impacting elections like 2024.
While the Ohio win was significant, Republican lawmakers at the state and federal level continue to push for abortion restrictions.
