Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine ® called a referendum on reproductive rights on the ballot Tuesday in his home state a “radical proposal,” just days before voters will take to the polls to weigh in on the issue.
“If you look at Issue 1 — it’s a radical proposal and whether you’re pro-choice or pro-life, it just goes much, much too far,” DeWine said Sunday on CBS News’s “Face The Nation.” “It is a radical proposal and does not fit Ohio.”
The proposed constitutional amendment, called Issue 1, would establish abortion protections in the state’s constitution. The highly-anticipated vote comes after weeks of rallies from both supporting and opposing groups, political leaders and celebrities.
It seems like illegalizing abortions in the first place was the more radical proposal. You took a freedom away that people had had for decades and just yanked it away from them. If anything, this is bringing things back to the status quo.
