It looks like Ohio GOPers aren’t taking “yes” for an answer. After Ohioans voted Tuesday to enshrine access to abortion care in their state constitution, more than a third of the Republican caucus in Ohio’s House of Representatives issued a joint statement essentially vowing to keep up their fight to restrict abortion.
They’re the ones who tried to pre-empt the referendum with a hastily planned ballot measure in August that they hoped would raise the voter threshold needed to pass constitutional amendments. They’re the ones who used blatant misinformation — including deceptive language on the ballots. And their reference to partial-birth abortion — a nonmedical term describing a procedure already banned in the U.S. — is yet another sign they’re intent on deceiving the public.
