Ohio faces major abortion vote
Mark Sappenfield
Today is Election Day in the United States. No, not , but an important one. Perhaps most interesting is voters in solidly red Ohio leaning toward adding abortion protections to their state constitution.聽
If that passes, it will be a huge win for abortion rights. But polls show that Americans have complex views on abortion. Our 鈥淟ooking Past Roe鈥� series explored this masterfully. Ohio voters are trying to define those complex views in law. That won鈥檛 end today. 鈥淲in鈥� or 鈥渓ose,鈥� finding a way to聽talk respectfully and listen honestly聽will help chart the way forward.
