Ohio has once again taken center stage in the national abortion debate with Buckeye state voters set to decide on Nov. 7 whether the procedure is a constitutional right.

Abortion and pro-life advocates around the country took to social media in the days prior, urging voters to either approve or reject the proposed constitutional amendment (Issue 1), promising dire consequences either way.
