As much as I detest the results in Ohio, this is how Federalism works and why SCOTUS eliminating Roe v Wade was the right decision. Let individual states decide whether abortion should be legal, whether there should be restrictions and what those restrictions look like. No doubt the pro-abortion crowd outspent the pro-lifers by more than $12M but that is on the pro-life movement to step up their game. But undertand this, we have protections for innocent babies in many states because of this decision that would never have existed previously.
Those calling for the GOP to abandon this issue because it is a loser at the ballot box in some states are focused on the wrong thing. We need to change hearts and minds in order for this battle to be won, but just because we lose it doesn't mean we should give up. As for me, I believe in the saying, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" I would much rather lose political power in support of something that I believe is the greatest moral evil in America. And we have significantly more protection today than we did 4 years ago. So the struggle continues but in the way it should....at the state level.
