Ohio Senate. I know it will lead Harm Current Pro-Life Laws
to the signing of the Heartbeat or the Pro-Life Movement In my experienced opinion, the protective Heartbeat Bill will drastically modify Roe vs. Wade and lead directly to its reversal. I do not say this lightly.
Because they told us they would end abortion, we sacrificially wrote checks, tirelessly stuffed envelopes, made calls, knocked on doors, distributed ballot cards, and voted these legislators into office. We didn’t elect them to regulate abortion, but to end it. Ohio Senate Republicans can no longer call themselves “pro- life” while refusing to pass the fully protective Heartbeat Bill!
40 Years for This Moment No one can tell us we haven't been patient; but after 40 years and 54 million dead babies, the time to protect them has come. We must do everything in our power to protect babies with beating hearts and do it now!
When the Senate brings the Heartbeat Bill to a vote, we will see the beginning of the end of abortion — this year. Rise up and join me at this historic moment in the fight for life:
Tell the Ohio GOP Senate to pass the strongest Heartbeat Bill now — or we will work to replace them with Bill by pro-life Gov. John Kasich,
