WE ARE CERTIFIED! 🎉 On Tuesday July 25, the Ohio Secretary of State certified our petitions, and with a historic 495,938 signatures from across Ohio–you will see abortion rights on the ballot in the November election.
This could not have happened without our dedicated volunteers. While we celebrate this amazing victory, we know this is just another step along the way to ensure our rights. We will keep fighting until abortion rights are enshrined in Ohio’s constitution.
Ohio Democrats collected more than 116,000 signatures to get abortion rights on the ballot. Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters released the following statement:
“Today was an important victory for Ohio women, and Ohio Democrats were proud to play our part. Out-of-touch politicians are relentlessly attacking women’s fundamental rights, inserting themselves into women’s personal, medical decisions and laying the groundwork for a total abortion ban in Ohio. In the days and weeks ahead, we look forward to telling these corrupt politicians: we won’t go back,” said Chair Walters.
