A new poll from the state of Ohio shows a majority of Ohioans support a proposed state constitutional amendment to ensure abortion is legal but not enough to overcome a possible supermajority requirement.
The poll from USA Today indicated that 58% of Ohio voters support a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit the state from enacting laws restricting the legality of abortion. But the majority support does not exceed 60%, potentially spelling doom for the initiative and raising the stakes of an upcoming referendum to raise the threshold to amend the state constitution.
The new poll, which placed opposition to the abortion amendment at a meager 32%, drew support across party lines, with 85% of independents supporting the abortion amendment. Meanwhile, 57% of voters in the same poll said they opposed raising the threshold requirement. The threshold amendment referendum, which will take place on Aug. 8, would force the abortion amendment referendum to reach a much higher level of support than under the current rules, which only require a simple majority of the state's voters to change the constitution. Pro-abortion rights groups have increasingly mobilized to oppose the amendment to raise the threshold, arguing that it undermines majority rule.
“Politicians in Columbus are launching this attack on democracy because they’re out of touch with Ohioans, and they’re scared of being held accountable," Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom spokeswoman Kellie Copeland said in a statement earlier this year when the threshold amendment vote was scheduled."These politicians know that their radical views on abortion care can’t win a fair vote, so they’re rigging the system.
"Ohioans are waking up to the dangers of the ACLU’s anti-parent amendment, which will allow minors to undergo abortions and sex changes without parental notification or consent, remove health and safety protections for women, and allow painful, late-term abortion up until birth," Natoce said."This radical agenda will not fly in Ohio and underscores the need to pass Issue 1 to protect Ohio's constitution from extreme out-of-state special interest groups.
