The inflammatory language targeting a reproductive rights measure on Ohio’s fall ballot is the type of messaging that is common in the closing weeks of a highly contested initiative campaign — warning of “abortion on demand” or “dismemberment of fully conscious children” if voters approve it.
Only the messaging isn’t just coming from the anti-abortion groups that oppose the constitutional amendment. It’s being promoted on the official government website of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate.
And because the source is a government website, the messaging is being prioritized in online searches for information about Issue 1, the question going before Ohio voters Nov. 7 to enshrine abortion access in the state Constitution.
Scumbags. Don’t fall for it, Ohio.
I live here.
I’m not optimistic.
Polling is actually looking extremely good. Like most successful initiatives in Ohio, this was an independent effort and has a big grass roots swell of support.
Not a slam dunk by any means, but it’s looking positive

Very few undecideds is a very good thing.
