"To prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with Issue 1, Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary over this ambiguous ballot initiative. 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 really scary part is that the Republicans will not accept the results of an election, a referendum, a court decision, and so on. They will try to overturn any result by any means or change the system if it doesn't match their agenda.
I waited almost 50 years for weed to be legalized, so I was disappointed to be moving to a state where it was illegal so soon after NJ legalized it. I figured Ohio was years away from legalization.

Sorry for so many posts, but the devil has been hard at work here lately.
This is heartbreaking. A woman in Warren, Ohio, has been charged with abuse of a corpse for trying to plunge a toilet after having a miscarriage at 22 weeks while using the restroom. pic.twitter.com/uYe6DZQULg
too bad Hamilton is at the other end of the state or I'd plan a visit.
Hamilton, OH is known as “City of Sculpture” and has one of the best sculpture parks in the country.
Diane Mullins, who is from Hamilton and running for State Rep, says sculptures are part of a “zionist communist” plot by the anti-Christ to take over the world. pic.twitter.com/3bXvbdW05B
(what’s she got against Wilks who donated the property and original works? Or the curators, who apparently are also longterm employees? And the very highly regarded, longterm collection that’s been there for many years???)
