Ohio voters enshrined abortion rights in their state Constitution by a large margin this week. And, with a nearly identical measure in the works in Arizona, the victory has abortion rights advocates like Jodi Ligget sounding pretty hopeful.
"Voters in Ohio sent a pretty clear message," said Ligget to Capitol Media Services. "They think that it's fine for people to have a right to an abortion. And I think people who believe that now realize that they're in the majority."
Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services joined the show to discuss his conversation with Liggett and the realization in the political world that even in a red state like Ohio, abortion rights are changing the political game.
