BREAKING NEWS! OHIO HOUSE BILL 239 PASSES THE OHIO HOUSE!

Just a short time ago, on Thursday afternoon around 2:30 PM, the Ohio House passed House Bill 239 by a vote of 64 - 25. Despite attempts by opponents to misrepresent the bill's impact, our pro-life Representatives held firm and stood up for women and their unborn children.

Thank you for all of your phone calls and emails. It really made a difference.

Next the bill must be passed by the Senate and then signed by the Governor.

HB 239 would: (main sponsor: SCHNEIDER, M) prohibit the use of public funds or facilities for

nontherapeutic abortions, proscribe public employees acting in the scope of their employment

from performing or inducing a nontherapeutic abortion, and to declare that it is in the public

policy of the state to prefer childbirth over abortion to the extent that is constitutionally

permissible.
