“I believe firmly that this is a pro-choice state,” Whaley said. “If Gov. DeWine and the legislature are going to push their extreme, anti-women agenda, it is time for voters to fight back.'
There are two ways to amend the Ohio Constitution: Beginning with the legislature passing a proposal to bring the matter before voters, or starting with a signature-gathering campaign of registered voters across the state to put the plan on ballots. Republicans have a supermajority in the Ohio General Assembly. Whaley plans to go with the signature-gathering route.
She added that there isn’t time to gather the signatures necessary for an amendment proposal for Nov. 8 ballots, because a key deadline to submit signatures -- over 400,000 would be needed -- is next week.
