In addition to the Ohio referendum, next week's legislative elections in Virginia are also centered on abortion, after Republicans have vowed to push through a 15-week limit if they win a majority in the statehouse. But the battle is also unfolding door-by-door across Ohio, from urban centers such as Cleveland to the state's rural corners.
Rhiannon Carnes, the co-founder of the alliance, said the amendment would not pass without support from Black Ohioans. DeWine, who easily defeated Democratic nominee Nan Whaley last year despite her emphasis on protecting abortion access, has been a visible spokesman. "Whether you are inherently pro-life or firmly identify as pro-choice, hearing how radical this amendment is gets people fired up," Natoce said.
