A story you should be following: Ohio abortion rights Proponents of abortion rights in Ohio have proposed a ballot initiative that would enshrine the right to abortion in the state Constitution. That is making abortion opponents nervous — for good reason.
June 2022 polling found that 61% of Americans say abortion should be legal. In Ohio specifically, 2022 polling shows that 59% of voters support the proposed amendment.
And so, the anti-abortion minority has resorted to some pretty misleading tactics to stop the initiative. Republicans are spending millions on ads that claim the measure would also allow minors to undergo gender-affirming surgery without parental consent or notification.
Experts tell NBC News the ads are inaccurate and misleading.
It’s a dishonest strategy, but one that could be replicated in other states. And it’s one I’m going to be watching closely ahead of 2024.
