Election results: Ohio enshrines abortion into law & legalizes recreational marijuana

In a deafening blow to Republicans, election night Ohio voters enshrined abortion rights into their state constitution and legalized recreational marijuana.

Not only did Republicans take a loss in Ohio, but Virginia voters handed Democrats full control of their state’s legislature.

Glenn Beck believes the way the abortion rights were proposed was “misleading.”

“It was horrible the way it was worded, and I think there were a lot of people that fell for it, quite honestly. It wasn't honest. However, it could be that people are just cool with abortion,” Glenn says.

If it’s the latter, Stu Burguiere believes “we are going to deserve everything our country gets, you know. That is where this is going to end, sadly.”

He also notes that Glenn is right about the wording, which brought up things like birth control, fertility treatments, and miscarriage care, “which no one was fighting against.”

The Ohio constitutional amendment also used the term “continuing one's own pregnancy,” which is absolutely misleading.

“Is there a movement of people just walking down the street, pointing at pregnant bellies and saying, ‘And that one’?” Stu asks.

Abortion and marijuana legalization both won by double digits.

While a huge loss for those who value life, it doesn’t mean minds still can’t be changed.

“You can’t just depend on votes. You have to be able to convince people over a very long period, and it’s important because what we’re talking about here are children living,” Stu says, adding, “And I know that’s a quaint little idea that we’re not allowed to talk about anymore, but we kind of think that children should be alive.”
