Fuck Ohio Republicans!
Now, now, there's no need to bring Ohio into this.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“The Ohio legislature alone will consider what, if any, modifications to make to existing laws based on public hearings and input from legal experts on both sides.”
The strategy Republicans are now proposing would essentially strip Ohio’s courts of the authority to repeal existing abortion restrictions before the new amendment goes into effect on December 7.
“No amendment can overturn the God-given rights with which we were born,” state Rep. Beth Lear (R-Galena) added in the Republican’s statement.
Another representative, Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester), claimed the referendum had only passed due to “foreign election interference.”
Rep. Bill Dean (R-Xenia) said the amendment “doesn’t repeal a single Ohio law,” and that its language is “dangerously vague and unconstrained, and can be weaponized to attack parental rights or defend rapists, pedophiles, and human traffickers.”
Gretchen Whitmer, told The Detroit News that “it shouldn’t be lost on people that these right-wing organizations and radical Republicans in the Michigan Legislature are cherry-picking courts to try to once again overturn a constitutionally guaranteed right because they can’t win with voters.”
The original article contains 387 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I wasn’t aware that god was handing out rights.
God doesn't give out rights or authority in a secular republic, the people do. When you use the authority delegated by the people to take away some of those people's rights and tell them God gives you that right, it's called bullshitting.
That's always the weakness of a democracy/republic; it's when charlatans convince people to consent to give up their power that they fail into autocracies
Honestly, after two defeats I was a little worried that turnout for Nov 2024 would decrease since protection is now in their state constitution. It's really kind of these folks to keep their losing issue relevant for us.
Oh, I’m certain God has a post-it note on his fridge reminding him of tasks to complete in Ohio, Earth.
☑️ Make sure that voters can pass laws they believe in, like abortion rights
☑️ Laugh at the fuckwads who don’t realize that the plan all along was for kind people to win, but selfish assholes kept getting in the way
☑️ Go fuck a literal black hole because I’m God and I built the tighest holes in existence just for me
I want to know what is wrong with people that they vote to protect abortion but then ALSO vote gross Christian fundies into office.
It's just racism isn't it?
If God desires things to be a certain way, couldn't he just snap his fingers and make it so?
Well, not if he's not real he can't, but that won't stop the deluded masses from invoking his name anyway.
UNLESS God speaks through the Pope in which case God is wrong!
