I spoke to Ohio Women's Alliance New Voices for RJ Red Wine and Blue Ohio Unity Coalition and others to find out how Ohio expanded abortion rights in a GOP-controlled state. My latest The Nation thenation.com/article/societ…

Since Roe fell, abortion rights have won every time they’ve been on the ballot. But Ohio is the first state where voters actually *expanded* access in a “red” state. Dani McClain reports: thenation.com/article/societ…

I live in Ohio, where voters just passed a constitutional amendment that protects abortion rights. For The Nation, I asked organizers how they beat back an opposition hellbent on sinking the initiative and what other GOP-heavy states can learn from the win thenation.com/article/societ…

Ohio Issue 1 live results from counties that were bellwethers in Aug - all were R in 2020
