Supporters of abortion rights in ohio are claiming victory after voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot measure that would have made it more difficult to add abortion protections to the states constitution. Cbs Caitlin Hueyburns reports on the political impact of the vote. Reporter ohio, we did it. We did it reporter voter turnout far exceeded expectations for a summer special election that sent a message across the they underestimated ohio. And they have aye awakened a sleeping giant. Reporter at issue, whether to raise the threshold to amend the state constitution from a simple majority, 50 plus one vote to 60 . Republicans, including secretary of state frank larose had hoped to implement the change ahead of november when enshrining abortion protections into the state constitution will be on the ballot. Of course we dont want the see a really radical abortion amendment put in our state constitution. Changing the rules at this stage in the game, isnt that stacking the deck . No. Reporter but 57 of ohio voters disagreed. Voters rejected the measure even in areas former President Trump won in 2020, and in each of ohios 88 coins, support for the proposal was less than the trump vote. Republican strategist Moira Gillespie says the results are a warning sign for her party. I think it speaks to this issue being a losing issue for republicans. Theyre never going to win if they continue to isolate moderate republicans, independents, and many in the party who maybe arent the loudest voices. Reporter but Ohio Republicans arent backing away. We lost one battle, but the war continues. And i have just begun to fight. And ohioans will vote directly on abortion rights this november with that constitutional amendment.

Now to an update on cbs news investigation. As we have reported, at least 35,000 Service Members were kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. But just over 1300 have had their discharge status changed since the dont ask, dont tell policy was repealed in 2010. Cbs jim axelrod reports on a new lawsuit against the pentagon that seeks to restore honor to thousands of veterans. Reporter this is 24yearold you. Correct. Reporter do you remember what shes thinking . I was proud at that time. Putting on that uniform was everything. Reporter when sheryl farrell joined the navy in 1985, she thought shed found a career. You wanted to do 20 years . That was my plan. Reporter you dont even do ten months. No, sir. I wasnt allowed to. Reporter she says a casual conversation about gay clubs with a bunk maitlanded her in front of naval investigators. Her military career was over a few months later. She was stunned to read her dd214, her discharge document. Other than honorable due to homosexuality. It hurt. Because my country is telling me im not good enough to serve because of who i love, not because of anything else. Just because of who i love. Reporter farrell is part of a group of veterans now suing the Defense Department to get their discharges changed and gain access to benefits like v. A. Loans, Tuition Assistance and federal jobs. This case is not about damages. This case is about simply changing that piece of paper. Reporter Jocelyn Larkin is one of the lawyers representing farrell and others in a Class Action Lawsuit against the pentagon. Every time they have to show that document, they are essentially outed involuntarily. Imagine if it was on your drivers license . Its ridiculous. Reporter the suit calls the existing process of trying to chage the dd 214 inadequate, opaque and often requires veterans to hire a lawyer. It would take a lot less effort to change these documents than it did to hound them out and take away their dreams. Reporter as for sheryl farrell, she still has hope for an upgraded discharge and plans for when she gets one. Once they change my discharge, im going frame both of those dd214s and hang them up. Because i want the country to know that i was willing to serve and die for my country, but youre telling me im not able to serve because of who i love . And youre not even willing to serve, but you get all the benefits. How fair is that . Reporter a pentagon spokesperson said the department does not comment on pending litigation, but in an earlier statement, stood by their existing discharge upgrade process. Major .
