Voters in Ohio reject GOP-backed proposal that would have made it tougher to protect abortion rights - Lemmy.world

Ohio voters on Tuesday resoundingly rejected a Republican-backed measure that would have made it more difficult to change the state’s constitution, setting up a fall campaign that will become the nation’s latest referendum on abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nationwide protections last year.

  • This isn't just about abortion, I don't get why all the headlines are focusing on that

  • It's really hard to see why this is a partisan issue, "let's make it hard to change the constitution" doesn't really sound like an inherently right-wing position.

    You are thinking of the Old GOP. New GOP doesn’t vote on conservative values. They’re just an underfed truffle pig scrounging in the dirt for any crumbs that will increase their power. It’s pathetic. Theyll eat their own leg if they get hungry enough.

    Fair enough. I love the old GOP. The new GOP is almost as bad as the Democrat party at this point

    Have you tried therapy? That may help with...whatever this is.
