TLDR - there is a petition to amend the Ohio state constitution to protect access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare. The language was recently approved and the next step is to collect signatures so it can be added to the November Ballot.

Well, hate to say it but Ohioans have added constitutional measures to the ballot and passed them in the past, only to have the state legislature strike it. Not joking. They just voted no, in direct contradiction to the populace.

The real solution is to stop voting for those monsters, but 2 party first past the post voting...

Happens a lot, unfortunately. What is the point of politicians if they don’t represent the will of the people?

Women's Liberation

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy.

We stand up for the rights of women as a sex-class. Women have a right to bodily autonomy and to set their own boundaries and have them respected. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography. We oppose all harms and forms of exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether or not they're sold as "choice" or re-framed as "empowering." We oppose the movement to redefine "women" in a way that erases the realities of our lives and makes organizing for our liberation as a sex-class impossible.

"In the radical feminist view, the new feminism is not just the revival of a serious political movement for social equality. It is the second wave of the most important revolution in history. Its aim: the overthrow of the oldest, most rigid class/caste system in existence, the class system based on sex – a system consolidated over thousands of years, lending the archetypal male and female roles an undeserved legitimacy and seeming permanence." –Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex
