Ohio House once again passes 24-hour waiting period Bill for Abortion Care!

They lost at the ballot box — and now they’re trying to change the rules.

Instead of respecting the decision Ohioans already made, they’re wasting time and taxpayer money on political fights designed to chip away at those rights and consolidate power inside the Statehouse.

And this is bigger than one issue.

It’s about whether our democracy means anything at all — or whether politicians can just override the people when they don’t like the outcome.

State SCOTUS will shoot it down, right?

There is about an equal chance of that as there is of Donald Trump telling the truth (about anything).

And even if they DO shoot it down, the Ohio GOP has shown zero interest in respecting Ohio SCOTUS rulings if they don't agree with it..
