Meanwhile, in Ohio

Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment on Tuesday that ensures access to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, the latest victory for abortion rights supporters since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year.

Ohio became the seventh state where voters decided to protect abortion access after the landmark ruling and was the only state to consider a statewide abortion rights question this year.

That banning abortion is a loser for Republicans in a lot of states (ie, non-Confederate states). I'm not sure that having a constitutional right in Ohio will do much, though. The Party of the Fetus has a firm hold on both the statehouse and the state supreme court, both of which have had no hesitation to twist the law and reason as much as they need to in order to support their agenda of enslaving women of childrearing age.

Ohioans came out for individual freedom in another issue, as well:

Ohio voters approved a measure legalizing recreational marijuana on Tuesday, defying Republican legislative leaders who had failed to pass the proposed law.

Passage of Issue 2 makes Ohio the 24th state to allow adult cannabis use for non-medical purposes.

We should end this moronic, Nixonian war on drugs. But we're too stupid to do that and the DEA-LEO Industrial Complex has too much to gain from keeping it going.
