On Tuesday, August 8, Ohioans have the opportunity to protect our state’s governing document from the deadly agenda of Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and other radical pro-abortion groups as they attempt to create a right to abortion up to birth. Issue 1 on the Special Election ballot will allow voters to elevate the threshold to amend our state Constitution from a simple majority to 60 percent of the vote.

This week on The Narrative CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews unpack what Issue 1 really is and the arguments for supporting it. 

In the news:

• The United States Supreme Court released a landmark 6-3 decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, reaffirming that the government cannot force artists, or anyone, to say something that they don’t believe.
• Two other major decisions released by the Court preserved the American promise for another generation.
• Ohio’s 2024-25 state budget was passed! The guys unpack this major victory for school choice, making all Ohio students eligible for EdChoice, as well as the other pro-family wins included in the new budget.
