5 things to know about Ohio's controversial constitutional amendment on abortion before Election Day
Fox News
Ohioans will decide on Tuesday whether abortion access will be enshrined into the state constitution in a vote that has captured the attention of the entire country post Roe.
Voters in Ohio who vote "yes" on Issue 1 are voting to approve an amendment that would "establish in the Constitution of the State of Ohio an individual right to one’s own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion" and "create legal protections for any person or entity that assists a person with receiving reproductive medical treatment." A "no" vote continues with the status quo in terms of Ohio laws already on the books and leaves current abortion restrictions intact. Andrew Mark Miller is a reporter at Fox News.
