Surely, this won't backfire. Just like the summer election.

That's what confused me about this too.

Abortion is a loser for the GOP. With the passage of this ballot issue, they could take their loss, played the "aw shucks" for their base, and moved on to other issues in 2024. Instead, they're giving the Ohio Dems their talking points for them and doubling down on a platform that's been killing them every time citizens cast ballots.
