Ohioans are trying to make abortion a right. So Republicans want to rewrite the rules

Anti-abortion legislators are trying to change the state's ballot initiative rules to require a supermajority for a ballot to pass

On 10 May, a group of religious leaders huddled to pray in a circle in front of the Ohio state capitol. Inside the statehouse, Republicans were voting on a bill that could thwart advocates' efforts to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

In the group of clergy was the Rev Terry Williams, a pastor who lives in a small town about 50 miles (80km) south of Columbus. When a congregant confided in Williams in 2012 that she needed an abortion, the pastor struggled to find a clinic - there are currently only six in the state of Ohio. The experience drew Williams into reproductive health advocacy.
