Reacting to Election Results
Manage episode 383773016 series 2425102

Notes:
- Amendments that states like MI and OH went up against are confusing and broadly worded; this caused much division among voters
- Voters responded strongly to the concern over parental rights (even over abortion rights)
- Abortion is just one piece of the “reproductive decisions” wording that is used
- The abortion lobby falsely claimed that without this amendment, women could not get care for a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy
- Pro-life efforts were outspent by roughly 20 million dollars in media advertising by the abortion lobby in Ohio this election season
- Church engagement is vital. Ohio saw an increase in churches speaking out against Issue 1, but we still needed more.
- Some people assumed that Ohio is a “life state” and an abortion amendment could never pass. There weren’t enough people willing to get out and vote, or who didn’t realize the severity of Issue 1.
- Nine additional states could have a similar amendment on the ballot next year
- In Ohio, existing pro-life regulations will be challenged in the courts. It will be difficult to uphold anything on parental rights, abortion limits, etc. when put up against the new amendment
- Pregnancy Help Organizations are vital now more than ever in states like Ohio to be there for women as abortion is pushed on them even more than before
