Good afternoon, colleagues, family, and friends! I am forwarding the following email from Peter Range, executive director of Ohio Right to Life, to all of you because it is loaded with important information about the ballot initiative that pro-abortion persons are trying to pass this year. We must act on Peter’s recommendations immediately.
A few special notes for some of you…
My “rich” family members and friends (you know who you are!), please consider donating to the effort to obtain a development director who can aid the media campaign which will be absolutely necessary to oppose the pro-abortion effort. Joan (Mom to some of you) and I will do our part, but $25 a month is almost nothing when the pro-abortion lobby has millions at its disposal.
My Democratic friends: please work within your party to support the pro-life effort. You would be surprised how many Democratic elected officials disagree with the national party’s support of abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy for any reason whatsoever.
Out-of-state family and friends: please forward this email to your own lists, especially those within Ohio.
Please feel free to forward this message to your email lists and promote segments of Peter’s message on social media as I have done. The matter is urgent. Remember: we must keep abortion out of our state constitution because abortion harms women, kills unborn babies, and rejects the love that fathers want to show for both.

Subject: Every Life Update – February 21st 2023
Friends for Life:
I hope this Every Life Update finds you well – and take heart – spring will come as ‘everything in nature points to resurrection!’ Nonetheless, as we await the days of warmer weather, know Ohio Right to Life is hard at work to defend the preborn in our state, particularly against the upcoming ballot initiative where the Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood and its allies have recently announced they are joining forces to attempt to get a pro-abortion initiative on this November’s ballot (http://bit.ly/3XLujLN). I put together a short 5-minute-video which explains how you can help – please consider sharing it with your pastor, priest or other groups which might like to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orKN9EPC2ls.
Furthermore, this Friday, our team is helping to lead a coalition meeting where we will announce the creation of a new 501c4 to defeat this initiative and a 5-million-dollar commitment to help us lay a foundation to achieve this goal. More to come, but in the meantime if you can volunteer, donate or simply desire to join us in prayer visit www.ohiolife.org, today! There are also more ways to engage in this ballot initiative fight and the pro-life cause in this Every Life Update, below! Read on to join us for LIFE!
For the King!
