A | Ohio residents this week began voting on a constitutional amendment whose fate will ultimately determine abortion access in the state.Voters are considering two ballot initiatives; ballots began being accepted on Wednesday and go through Election Day on Nov. 7.The two measures are: Issue 1, the amendment that if approved would add abortion rights to the state constitution; and Issue 2, which would legalize recreational marijuana.The proposed abortion amendment would establish an "individual right to one's own reproductive medical treatment including but not limited to abortion" and then creates legal protections for those individuals, among other guarantees like for contraception and fertility treatment.The marijuana measure, if passed, would make Ohio the 24th state to legalize cannabis and would allow adults 21 years and older to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of flower and 15 grams of extract.In August, Ohio voters resoundingly rejected a contentious, Republican-backed ballot measure that would have raised the threshold for future changes to the state constitution -- an effort that would have specifically made it more difficult for the abortion amendment to pass.When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down its previous Roe v. Wade ruling, in 2022, the justices returned the question of abortion access to individual states. Since then, while some states have largely ceased abortion access, others have taken up ballot measures that put the question before voters. In those cases -- in both red and blue states so far -- voters have rejected the potential for abortion restrictions and bans or elected to expand access.On Sept. 27, the Ohio Supreme Court started hearing arguments about the state's six-week abortion ban, which was previously put on hold by a lower court.The success or failure of the abortion ballot measure could render that case moot, if state voters add abortion access to their constitution.Both sides have built up mobilization efforts over the past few weeks -- knocking on doors, canvassing and hosting rallies across the state."Whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, Issue 1 just goes too far," Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, said at a recent event at the Ohio GOP's headquarters.Ohio Democrats claimed last week to have been inching toward 100,000 doors knocked and more than 100,000 calls made in the time since their win in the August special election."We're not leaving anything behind as we work to protect women's rights to choose and prevent Ohio's extreme abortion ban from taking effect," Ohio Democratic Chairwoman Elizabeth Walters said during a recent press briefing.There's also been significant financial investment in the race. According to numbers from AdImpact released last week, $12.3 million had been spent or reserved in advertising around the abortion ballot measure, with anti-amendment groups outspending amendment supporters by about $1.6 million.

B | 近日,笔者在荒地河山洪沟治理工程现场看到,河道内水波荡漾,两岸建起一块块可栽绿植的生态框,框架内部可以实现孔隙排水,使水分迅速排出,可以有效防止坡面积水和雨水渗透导致坡面坍塌。

C | 据了解,荒地河全长4500米,治理长度3000米,南起荒地村外,北至锦葫路,其中固滨石笼护岸2200米,生态框1600米。目前,山洪沟防洪治理项目主体工程已完工。不仅能有效提升河道防洪行洪能力,还能改善沿岸人居环境及生态环境,提高区域绿化空间,绘就河畅水清岸绿景美的生态画卷。 据区农业农村局副局长介绍,山洪沟原貌基本处于土质岸坎无防护状态,暴雨后易造成河水漫灌、河道淤积、水土流失严重等灾害,威胁河道两岸群众安全,现在在河岸两侧使用了生态框与固滨笼相结合的方式进行治理,有效减缓了洪水冲刷力,使生态环境和水土保持得到改善。通过这项治理将有效预防安全隐患,保证河道行洪安全。(赵家艺)。
