Contributing sentiments towards policy:
44% : "I think they're just trying to railroad us and ram something through that we'll be paying for for years down the road.""Let's face it," said Michael Cornelius, a 65-year-old commercial artist, "with our current General Assembly, which is heavily gerrymandered, I would rather leave issues like abortion in the hands of the electorate."37% : While the campaign groups have to varying degrees tiptoed around abortion, the vote's implications for the national fight over abortion rights has drawn national interest that's unusual for a state ballot issue.
34% : Judy Stein, a 75-year-old retired Ohio State University employee, said abortion is a reason why she opposes Issue 1, although she said there are other reasons, too.
34% : Although pro-Issue 1 ads have been funded by national anti-abortion interests, they've conspicuously avoided mentioning abortion, instead referencing the liberal interests backing the "no" campaign and arguing the state constitution is too easy to change.
