Ohio Republicans Refuse To Accept Election Results, Claim Abortion Bans Will Remain (www.meidastouch.com)

Days after Ohio voters passed Issue 1 and codified abortion rights into Ohio's constitution, Republicans are not accepting the election results.

In a new, unhinged press release issued by the Ohio House Republican Committee, GOP members rant that "foreign billionaires" impacted the election results and call the results tainted by so-called "foreign interference." It is unclear what they are referring to.

Ohio voters overwhelmingly voted 'Yes' on Issue 1 by a margin of 56.6% to 43.4%.

The press release further argues that the results of the election do not invalidate a 6-week abortion ban previously passed by the Ohio Legislature and that "no amendment can overturn the God given rights with which we were born."

The party of Lincoln sure doesn't seem like they want a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

The most worrying part of this press release is the part where they're saying they're going to try and reign in the powers of the judiciary to enforce the abortion amendment. Sure sounds a lot like fascism to me.

Sure sounds a lot like fascism to me.

Funny thing, it also looks, smells and feels like it too! I wonder why that is? Please don’t ask me to taste it.

Don't worry we won't have to taste it as they forcefully face fuck it into our throat.

No, this is just normal dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. You're just more politically aware now.
