700,000 + Signatures to put abortion on the November 2023 ballot in Ohio.




From the article-
"The total -- 710,131, to be exact -- was well above the minimum number of valid signatures from registered Ohio voters needed: a little more than 415,000. Backers of proposed constitutional amendments like to get a large cushion because inevitably, thousands of signatures are thrown for not meeting various legal requirements."

snip-"Dr. Marcela Azevedo of Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights said last week, "Despite all of the court cases and roadblocks, we're still going strong and fighting with all that we've got."

Fellow member Dr. Lauren Beene said that early in the petition drive, "It was clear we had tapped into energy and new voices that could be harnessed to make a positive change."
