With the Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobb’s case last summer, the major front of the Right to Life battle has been shifted to the state level. In Ohio the Heartbeat Bill, which expands protection of the unborn, is currently enjoined in the courts, which makes the Ohio Supreme Court elections this cycle particularly import!
Justices Kennedy, DeWine, and Fischer have all been endorsed by Ohio Right to Life (ORTL), Right to Life Action Coalition Ohio (RTLACO), Ohio Value Voters (OVV) so please note these endorsements and vote accordingly. Let’s keep the momentum of the Supreme Court ruling going!!
