Ohio Republicans claim amendment changes nothing

[angrychair]

Ohio House Republicans claim it has no impact on existing laws. They also plain to say the judicial branch has no jurisdiction over the issue.

New fight begins.

This is an actual press release from the Ohio House Republican Caucus.
They're claiming Ohio's new constitutional right to abortion access doesn't repeal the abortion bans passed by the legislature

1. Because repuglicans hate any law or rule which conflicts with

their world view. They will simply ignore it.

2. Going into 24 election with GOP platform of ending citizen participation

in Ohio’s election process because they didn’t like how wide majority of Ohio citizens voted.

3. Hopefully, the democrats can take that to the bank in '24 election.

4. They sure know how to lose ...

Now that the GOP says the constitutional amendment does nothing,
they've kept the issue alive and democrats (like embattled Sherrod Brown) can have success running on the issue.

5. The laws may still be on the books

But they have no force or effect. Like the exclusionary covenants on deeds, they're a legal nullity.

But by all means, Ohio Republicans, keep reminding women that if it were up to you, you'd reduce them to second class citizen status and rob them of their right to make their own health care and reproductive decisions. Women love that!

6. So they're saying their legislature trumps their constitution?

sure, just ignore democratic processes that get in your way - I'm sure that's a good long-term solution

7. Wadda Ya Expect

They're fascists.

8. Fuck these Christofascists.

9. Not surprising that people who believe fairy tales

Believe their own fairy tales, too.

10. They all need to get infected with a fatal disease.

11. This is a wakep up call for Ohio Democrats

Running for offices there...Make Republicans pay and sound the alarm to women there that Democrats are on their side on this and many issues thst affect them Socially and Economically.

They will vote for Democrats.

12. So why the costly disinformation campaign against the Constitutional Amendment?

If the Amendment means nothing, they could have saved all that money spent on disinformation and instead used it to attack minority rights, teachers, scientists, and librarians.

13. Republicans hate voting and democracy.

Fuckers should quit running for reelection
