Ohio’s abortion right sees the light of day with a ballot scheduled for November.

In what one would call a good result; Ohio State’s abortion right sees the light of day with a ballot scheduled for November.

Frank LaRose , Ohio’s Secretary of State announced Tuesday that organizers submitted enough valid signatures to put an amendment on the November ballot to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution.

In a letter LaRose wrote to petitioners, she stated that the petitioners submitted 495,938 total valid signatures on behalf of the proposed statewide initiative, overcoming the the hurdle of roughly 414,000 signatures required to be placed on the ballot this fall.

This is to ensure everyone obtains the right to do whatever they deem appropriate with their reproductive decisions.

The proposed amendment in Ohio would ensure “every individual has a right to make and carry out one’s reproductive decisions.” The statewide vote would come a year after two of Ohio’s neighboring states – deep-red Kentucky and the political battleground of Michigan – supported abortion rights in their own ballot measures.

After the announcement, many political analysts made their views on the issue including the Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters who called it an “important victory for Ohio women.”

Walters made a significant statement commending how the proposed amendment is being treated. “Out-of-touch politicians are relentlessly attacking women’s fundamental rights, inserting themselves into women’s personal, medical decisions and laying the groundwork for a total abortion ban in Ohio. In the days and weeks ahead, we look forward to telling these corrupt politicians: we won’t go back,” Walters said in statement.
