Reality bites the GOP in the ass, as people do sometimes care about their material conditions more than the ability to cut off their own nose to spite their face.

This doesn't actually address material conditions though. It's just a law that says abortion is legal. It doesn't guarantee that a for-profit healthcare provider will offer abortions. It doesn't guarantee any of the people most affected by abortion bans access to abortions. It literally does nothing but tell the politicians of Ohio that 57% of voters want abortion to remain legal.

Meanwhile over 75% of voters want public health insurance, but I don't see any politicians giving a shit about that either.
