Three days ago, Ohio Right to Life (ORTL) terminated their communications director Elizabeth Marbach for sharing the gospel on Twitter and the great sin of calling out a particularly noxious pro-choice activist by describing them as a “murderous liar” for spreading pro-baby-killing propaganda. Led by compromised men and weak-willed women, this is the same pro-life group that refused to support any abolitionist legislation because it punished women for killing their babies, taking an active role in blocking these bills from becoming law.
Well, they’re at it again.
A new report from The Sentinel reveals that Mike McGuire, one of ORTL’s board members who also works as a Senior Republican aid, has been working behind the scenes to crush a bill to abolish abortion that the abolitionist group End Abortion Ohio crafted.
The proposed abolitionist legislation would treat abortion like murder and punish all without partiality, making no distinction between women who kill their preborn babies in the womb and those who kill their postbirth babies out of the womb.
But pro-life board member McGuire finds this intolerable, and ORTL is on record saying they will “continue to oppose legislative and policy initiatives that criminalize women who seek abortion.” Consequently, McGuire has been appearing at legislative meetings to lobby against the bill and apply the squeeze to malleable party members. Joining forces with ORTL is The Center for Christian Virtue, an ideologically aligned co-belligerent that is the largest “Christian public policy organization” in the state.
This one-two pressure punch eventually convinced Republican legislator Bill Dean to pull his support, despite initially pledging to introduce the bill, ensuring its demise. End Abortion Ohio laments:
Our bill, the Abolition of Abortion in Ohio Act, was poised to be introduced on September 13th. This would have been Ohio’s first bill of complete and total abolition. It would have guaranteed equal protection to the preborn and criminalized the act of abortion.
On Saturday, Rep. Dean told us that he will no longer introduce the bill this September.
Sadly, our opposition has not come from the pro-abortion side but from Ohio’s trusted pro-life organizations.
End Abortion Ohio President Austin Beigel was circumspect about ORTL’s gambit, explaining: “To say that I am heartbroken is an understatement, but this betrayal did not surprise God. What man meant for evil, God intends for good.”
If he hadn’t, he would have been out of a job.
They need to fire him anyway
Not good to call evil good....
Typical infiltration. Controlled opposition. Worked perfectly getting inside the NRA. Now used everywhere.
National Right To Life has been fronting for the Republican Establishment GOP-E RINO’s for decades.
NRL and state affiliates like the one in Ohio are associates of the Business Backed Moderate Political Machine.
Another worthless repugnicant.
Case in point the case in front of the Texas Supreme Court right now regarding fetal rights. Ken Paxton is another feckless repugnicant.
You denying a woman health care to have an abortion
You denying a fetus health care to not be murdered.
Shakespeare was right when he said let’s kill all the lawyers.
I know some people will be upset with me over this, but in this society at this time, attempting to completely ban abortion will GUARANTEE a Democrat sweep in the next election.
We can ban 3rd trimester. We may be able to encroach on the 2nd. But a 1st trimester ban will just get Democrats elected who will immediately repeal it.
We made progress when we focused on making it unpopular to be an abortionist and shut down clinics one by one.
You’re right. The complete banning of abortion at this point in time is no more than virtue signaling.
It IS virtuous, and ending all abortion is a righteous goal, but it won’t happen now. Women themselves have to buy in to the evil that is murdering small humans. Their hearts must be changed before that will happen.
Hearts won’t be changed until the country returns to Christ and founding principles.
The country won’t return to Christ if First Amendment rights are quashed in the area of religion and people can’t hear the Gospel. And they’re being quashed now, every single day.
It’s going to be a long haul before we see the end of abortion.
Exactly right! The pro-life voters have suddenly disappeared.
Six different pro-abortion ballot measures have appeared since the Roe V. Wade overturn. Everyone passed with flying colors.
Pro-lifers are staying home, leaving pro-life candidates in a lurch.
“Led by compromised men and weak-willed women, this is the same pro-life group that refused to support any abolitionist legislation”
Funny, I just recently had a response from one of our own that would fit this bill. They call themselves ProLife, too.
Sounds like an absolutely idiotic bill, the sort that could never in a billion years pass and permanently scorch the earth to prevent any reasonable legislation from passing.
I’m not sure that I understand. You’re saying a pro life man lobbied against the bill that would prosecute a woman who had an abortion for murder?
Is the bill saying an abortion at anytime? Or after 12 weeks?
Does the bill prosecute the doctor who performs the abortion?
I thought that pretty much all states are allowing legal abortions up to 12 weeks.
Enjoy...what even a child can do.
I agree with you. Conservatives were correct that this is a State issue. Leave it at that.
Tom MacDonald and MadChild...driving liberals crazy!
Smashing leftist ideologies and cutting through the forest of BS!
