What's at Stake in Ohio's Referendum on Amending the State Constitution

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Beyond abortion, political analysts say Ohio's vote could be a major moment in an ongoing tug of war nationwide over how much power ordinary voters should have over elected legislators.
47% : But Republicans soon conceded that the referendum was really prompted by something else: the November effort to add an abortion-rights amendment to the Constitution, and the success last year of six ballot proposals across the country protecting abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
37% : But the results could have far-reaching consequences for another, more explosive issue on the ballot in November: whether to establish a right to abortion.
