I live in Ohio and I'm absolutely disgusted that the rabid, disgusting left turned out in droves to set the stage via Issue 1 to enshrine abortion in our Constitution. I know we're waiting on "the plan" and Q, but quite frankly there is little to save when 60/40 vote to allow this. BIG GIANT FUCKING ASTEROID 2024. Rant over.

I'm in Ohio and I cast a "No" vote. It was a tough call to align with the Democrats on this issue, but I considered the broader implications. What if there arises a necessity to amend the constitution in the future for those of us on the right side of history? That would demand a 60% majority, and blindly voting "Yes" might come back to haunt us. It's crucial to consider a wider range of matters beyond just abortion. While I share your discomfort with abortion, it's important to acknowledge that a "Yes" vote could have been detrimental for us. I have several friends who will side with republicans when it comes to the vote. They chose to vote no on Issue 1 because they realize the implications. They will however vote no on abortion as will I.
I will just have to agree to disagree with you fren. Over Half the states have a higher threshold. Its not a rare thing. And its the CONSTITUTION. There shouldn't be shit on the ballot twice a year trying to amend it. Its what our legislators are for: passing laws. Not a fan of this at all.
Actually only 11 states require more than a simple majority to approve a constitutional amendment. Ohio would have been the 12th. I had to do a lot of research and digging in order to come to my decision. I did not take it lightly.
I didn't take my vote lightly either. To each their own fren
