Ohio Abortion Rights Supporters Deliver Enough Signatures for Ballot Measure

Supporters of abortion rights in Ohio have gathered enough signatures to put a measure establishing a right to abortion in the state constitution on the November ballot.
Over 710,000 signatures were collected to surpass the required 413,466.
The ballot measure would establish a right to abortion in Ohio but allow restrictions after 23 or 24 weeks.
Abortion rights supporters are turning to ballot initiatives to protect abortion access after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Ohio Republicans have proposed raising the threshold to pass ballot measures to 60% in response.
