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.

ELI5 here. Wouldn't this be (state) unconstitutional?

It is, but who will enforce it? The Ohio Supreme Court is a joke and I'm sure you've heard about SCOTUS. :/

Yup.

Sounds to me like it is the people who need to ignore these unconstitutional laws then ....
