A recent article in the Ohio Capitol Journal highlights the issues around Issue 1 and includes the ballot language and explanation of the amendment.  The ballot measure will require a 60% supermajority of Ohio voters to amend the state’s constitution if passed, a move some lawmakers hope will make it less likely that voters will make abortion legal in November.

Voting will take place August 8.  Click here to find your polling location.
