Editorial: Another victory for reproductive rights. Thanks, Ohio

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Presidential candidates who oppose abortion are no doubt shaken (or should be) by this unbroken string of victories for reproductive rights in state elections and may soften their messaging for some audiences.
42% : Ohio voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved Issue 1 at the ballot, making it the sixth state to either pass a constitutional amendment protecting abortion access or reject a measure that would have specified the state constitution does not protect abortion rights.
38% : Antiabortion state legislators tried to block Issue 1 from passing with a sneaky ballot measure in August that would have raised the vote threshold for passage of constitutional amendments (like Issue 1) to 60% from a simple majority.
24% : Abortion also figured into outcomes in other elections around the country, notably in two states where it seems conservative state legislatures are at odds with their constituents on this issue.
