Heavy Turnout As Ohio Constitution Vote Nears Tuesday Finish

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : In November, Ohio voters will vote on an initiative to amend the state's constitution so it will assert that "every individual has a right to make and carry out one's own reproductive decisions, including but not limited to decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing one's own pregnancy, miscarriage care, and abortion."
44% : Though it addresses constitutional amendments in general, Tuesday's referendum is seen by some as targeting a November ballot initiative that would declare abortion to be a right in the Buckeye State. "Issue 1" would raise the bar for constitutional amendments by requiring a 60% voter-majority for enactment, rather than 50% under the status quo.
44% : The state enacted a six-week ban but enforcement has been suspended while challenges to the law make their way through the courts.
39% : As Ohio has become more hostile to abortion, the state now has just nine abortion clinics, compared to 23 in 2010.
35% : The proposed amendment does allow for abortion to be prohibited "after fetal viability.
