Ohio Supreme Court Unanimously Keeps Abortion Initiative on the November 2023 Ballot

On August 11, the Ohio Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the abortion initiative should remain on the November 7, 2023 ballot. Giroux v Committee Representing the Petitioners, 2023-Oh-2786. Here is the opinion.

Ohio election law says that an initiative petition is supposed to list statutes that would be repealed if the initiative were to pass. The challengers to the abortion petition said the initiative should be removed from the ballot because the petitions didn’t list the laws that would be repealed if the amendment were to pass.

The Court found that statute doesn’t directly apply to most constitutional initiatives. Technically when a constitution is amended, the amendment itself does not repeal any prior statute. Both federal and state courts often determine that statutes are unconstitutional, but a judgment that a statute is unconstitutional does not repeal that law; it just means that the law is void.

  1. Did he also say “if someone has a constantly backing up, overflowing commode or septic tank, they should have to fix it themselves…no professional plumbers!”?

  2. HOW MANY LEGISLATURE LAWS DO NOT SPECIFY WHAT EARLIER LAWS ARE BEING AMENDED / REPEALED BY A NEW LAW ???

    KEEPS COURTS BUSY FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS OR WHAT ???

    P-A-T

  3. I just love the hypocrisy of some “prolifers” who believe that the right to life is sacred, but the right to health is merely negotiable.

  4. Or use birth control. If you go out and drink it also helps to not dress and act like a slut just to get free drinks, tease guys and rub up on them, shake your ass etc., then drink too much to remember what happened and wake up naked leaking some random dude’s semen whose name or face you kinda sorta but really don’t remember and then have to put down if anyone knows please put us in touch and your phone number on the birth certificate where it says fathers name. Not that I ever did anything like that, mind you.

  5. I’ve found lesbianism to be a 100% safe and effective form of birth control, except against rape. I’ve experienced several rape attempts by males, none successful. The first time I was pretty lucky to get away. After that I learned Krav Maga and Sambo martial arts and situational awareness, and have maintained sobriety. I also got tubes tied, just in case.

    Together with my partner, we’ve adopted her niece and nephew from her junkie prostitute sister who is currently doing 5 to 10 for armed robbery of a dopehouse. The kids are doing great and we’re both happy to have them without going through pregnancy or putting up with male partners, which we both had before. The sex is better than it was with men too. Women know what women want.

  6. ANOTHER SERIES OF TROLL MORON POSTS —- PRE-SKOOOL TROLL MORON SEX STUFF

    BAN CENSORSHIP NOW.

  7. I agree, AZ puts up series of preschool troll moron posts and censorship should be banned.

  8. FOR NON-TROLL MORONS —

    BALLOT ACCESS NEWS CENSORSHIP N-O-W.

    SEND TROLL MORONS BACK TO THEIR PRE-SKOOOL BABY CRIBS TO ATTACK EACH OTHER WITH MINI-PILLOWS AND MINI-ANIMAL STUFFED TOYS.

  9. I DISAGREE WITH AZ. I THINK HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY. BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF HE LEFT VOLUNTARILY AND STARTED HIS OWN TROLL MORON SITE.

  10. Naturally, as a man I reject the existence of lesbianism, except as a form of purgatory until a woman meets a real man, such a myself.

  11. I am most certainly NOT gay! I just want men to cum to me and love me, that is all.

  12. Yes you were. You had no female apostles and never married. You were a long haired, dopehead suicide who rejected strength and power and effeminately preached loving enemies, turning swords into plows, and turning the other cheeks (or spreading both cheeks) for those who attacked you. You could not have had sex with women, as doing so would have been adultery and fornication under your teachings. You taught slaves to obey their masters. That’s all as gay as it gets.

  13. You weren’t. You gave every sign of the submissive, and you preached for your followers to be submissives after your own example. Willingly being crucified was the ultimate submission. You rejected the gift of power. You turned the other cheek. So gay.
