Update. First #Ohio #Republicans failed to jack up the difficulty of amending the state constitution. Then (yesterday) they saw a significant majority of Ohio voters (56.6% v. 43.4%) amend the constitution to protect the right to #abortion.

  Update. #Republicans in #Mississippi and #Missouri are now following the (unsuccessful) tactics of #Ohio Republicans. Fearing a referendum to amend the state constitution to protect #abortion rights, they're trying to block referenda to amend the state constitution.

  Remember that a large majority Ohio voters (including many Republicans) voted to preserve majority rule.

    Republican legislatures in some states are trying to keep abortion off the ballot
    
    Democrats and abortion rights advocates say the efforts are evidence that Republican lawmakers and abortion opponents are trying to undercut democratic processes.

  Update. To block #abortion rights, #Ohio #Republicans first tried to make it harder to amend the constitution. They lost that fight. Then they saw a significant majority (including many Republicans) vote to adopt an abortion-rights amendment to the state constitution. Now they're trying to strip the courts of jurisdiction to interpret the new abortion-rights amendment.

    Reps. Jennifer Gross, Bill Dean, Melanie Miller and Beth Lear said that they’ll push to have the Legislature, not the courts, make any decisions about the amendment passed.
