"Ohio Republicans tried to change the amending rules for one reason, and one reason only - they’re likely to lose on abortion in November and perhaps on other issues that their legislative majorities can’t thwart. In response to these vulnerabilities, Republicans have resorted to decrying the 'outside' 'special interests' that they say are upending the will of Ohioans."

"But the main group supporting Issue 1 received over 80% of its nearly $5 million war chest from an Illinois shipping magnate, Richard Uihlein, who funds anti-abortion efforts around the country. Those in favor of Issue 1 did not represent the authentic voice of Ohioans. On the contrary, its proponents tried to rig the rules of the game because they know where a majority of voters stand on this issue."
