OH: What's on the November 2023 ballot in Cuyahoga County?

Hundreds of candidates across Northeast Ohio will be vying to become mayor, or to win seats on city council or school board. Several local issues will be on the ballot as well.

There will also be two statewide issues on the ballot regarding abortion and marijuana. Here’s the wording for the statewide issues from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections website:

Seems like a pro-lifer term for "fetus".

but Ohio voters were smart enough to reject the advertisements that claimed the proposed amendment to "raise the threshold" for citizen initiatives to 60 percent (and which they supported with 'anti-trans' ads)....

I don't think they will be fooled by any tinkering with the ballot language... the majority seem determined to regain their rights to reproductive freedom!

(Not sure if the term was 'unborn child' or 'baby'--- whatever)

My only regret about the Ohio initiative is political--- I sort of wish it was on the 2024 ballot instead of this year---

but the women of Ohio deserve to be liberated this year, rather than next year....
