Four Years After Dobbs Decision, Vivek Ramaswamy Wants to Overrule Ohio Voters in Favor of Dangerous Abortion Restrictions

June 24, 2026

Columbus, Ohio- Four years after the Supreme Court's decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and rolled back one of American women's most fundamental rights, Vivek Ramaswamy is pushing an extreme anti-abortion agenda that overrules the will of Ohio voters. Ramaswamy said Dobbs was decided correctly; he was "unapologetically pro-life" without any qualification, and described a law banning abortion before most women even know they're pregnant as "progress."

Ohioans overwhelmingly enshrined the right to reproductive freedom in Ohio's state constitution in 2023. Instead of taking his cues from Ohio families, Vivek Ramaswamy selected a running mate who co-sponsored a heartbeat ban with no exceptions for rape or incest and is responsible for enacting the same extreme abortion restrictions that voters rejected.

"Ohioans overwhelmingly rejected Vivek Ramaswamy's extreme, anti-abortion agenda, but that hasn't stopped him from pushing these dangerous policies," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "Once again, Ramaswamy thinks he knows better than Ohioans and would do what he wants while attacking our rights."
