The US state of Ohio will decide whether to guarantee the right to abortion in a potential 2024 bellwether Tuesday as both sides of the American political machine establish their campaign strategies on this crucial issue one year out from the presidential election.
In the 17 months since the court's decision, 14 states have effectively prohibited the procedure, while others have moved to enshrine the right to end a pregnancy within state law. But the law sparked a national outcry for the short time it was allowed to remain in effect last year, when a 10-year-old rape survivor was forced to travel to neighboring Indiana for an abortion after being denied care at home.Though Election Day is Tuesday, Ohio voters have already been casting early ballots for weeks.
After the downfall of Roe, the pro-abortion rights camp notched several victories last year, including a referendum to protect reproductive rights in the conservative state of Kansas. Advocacy group Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights even made a religious appeal to drive home their point. But abortion rights opponents, including the group Protect Women Ohio, say the amendment is too "extreme."
