Ohio voters just passed constitutional protections for abortion access and other reproductive rights. sop Jan 2024 #35
The illegally gerrymandered legislature is trying to nullify this right now. Nevilledog Jan 2024 #40
I don't understand how the Ohio legislature thinks they have the right to override the state constitution SouthernDem4ever Jan 2024 #62
After Florida restored felons' voting rights in 2018, the legislature passed a bill requiring convicted felons to sop Jan 2024 #64
Yet people still vote for those assholes. SouthernDem4ever Jan 2024 #65
Good, but this is still insane, and they'll just write another law they GJ can't override. lindysalsagal Jan 2024 #37
The law they used has nothing to do with abortion, specifically. Ms. Toad Jan 2024 #66
