The recent defeat of the pro-life cause in Ohio has been identified as the ratification of a new moment in American politics, one in which red states ultimately are turned blue over the issue of access to abortion.
Ohio voters added reproductive rights to the state constitution Tuesday by passing Issue 1, as the pro-choice movement continued its post-Dobbs winning streak.
It was a year ago this week that Politico published a report, based on a leak from an anonymous pro-abortion source within the Supreme Court, about the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Democrats accusing Republicans of abortion extremism had the charge thrown back in their faces at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Women's Health Protection Act, legislation that would lift virtually all limits on pregnancy termination.
On the first Presidents' Day since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Supreme Court decision, I have thought a great deal about the state of our country. Originally established in 1885 to honor George Washington, Presidents' Day is now a day to honor all presidents. As such, this day serves as a reminder of the great presidents of the past, of those who could have done better, and of the influence of our presidents when it comes to laws regarding the most vulnerable among us the preborn.
