Democratic Group Releases Anti-GOP Ad Showing Couple About To Fuck
This ad from a Democratic lobbying group is in response to Ohio’s “Issue 1,” which will be on the ballot in an election on August 1st, and it is brilliant:
While Ohio Republicans are trying make Issue 1 look like it’s about making their state constitution harder to amend, it’s really about blocking abortion and birth control. Via Ohio Capital Journal:
Beth Vanderkooi with the anti-abortion group Right to Life is supportive of making it harder to amend the Ohio constitution ahead of a possible vote to legalize abortion this November.
“I see this as a win for Ohioans who will have an opportunity for Ohioans to weigh in on what it will take to amend our constitution,” Vanderkooi told News 5 the day the amendment proposal passed.
Democrats and nonpartisan organizations say the language is purposely misleading by not including the current standards for passing constitutional amendments, which is a simple majority of 50% +1. Voters should also know signature requirements will expand from 44 to all 88 counties, Jen Miller with the League of Women Voters of Ohio said.
“My biggest concern is that Ohioans will look at this ballot language, will not understand that if they vote yes, they’re actually voting to take their own personal power and right away as an Ohio voter,” Miller said.
Republicans have admitted this effort is largely to stop abortion from becoming legal; Miller says it does so much more, including diminishing a voter’s choice on issues like redistricting, worker laws and bonds — like funding for bridges.
