Toledo Blade on Supreme Court of Ohio elections
Blog | August 15, 2024
The Toledo Blade reported on how the Supreme Court of Ohio races are shaping up in the 2024 election. As the court battles over Ohio’s abortion bans move forward, our team is working to educate voters on the importance of judicial races that voters frequently overlook.
Our Jaime Miracle was quoted:
“A broad number of voters turned out to put reproductive rights in the constitution,” said Jaime Miracle, deputy director of Abortion Forward, the rebranded former Pro-Choice Ohio.
“Our gerrymandered legislature is not going to do anything to undo the decades of harm its abortion restrictions and laws have caused in this state,” she said. “The court is the only real path forward at this point to stop the enforcement of all of the abortion restrictions that are now in our minds unconstitutional.”
“We’ve been talking about the court for a very long time and how keyed in the public is on this,” Ms. Miracle said. “We’re transitioning from paying attention to the U.S. Supreme Court to looking closer at the Ohio Supreme Court, which is going to decide whether the reproductive freedom amendment is enforced or ignored.”
