Washington — Republicans in the Ohio state legislature are threatening to strip state courts of their authority to review cases related to Issue 1 , the ballot measure approved by voters on Tuesday that established a right to abortion in the state constitution .A group of four state GOP lawmakers announced their plans in a press release Thursday, which also teased forthcoming legislative action in response to voters' approval of the reproductive rights initiative.
Issue 1Ohio voters on Tuesday passed Issue 1 by a margin of 56.6% to 43.4%, marking the first time a Republican-led state has affirmatively guaranteed the right to abortion in its state constitution. The approval of the measure extended the winning streak by abortion-rights proponents after they were victorious in all six states where abortion-related measures were directly on the ballot last year.
