Dayton, Ohio--After many of us went to bed last night, being assured that women and babies would be protected----Senate President Matt Huffman made a deal to trade away thousands of babies' lives in Ohio.
For what---is the question??
After days of much debate and discussion, the Ohio legislature had approved language that would prevent your tax-payer funded institutions (like Boonshoft School of Medicine) from providing support to abortion facilities. These new guidelines would have made it difficult for some facilities to maintain their licensing, including, Womens Med Center in Kettering. This language was in place last night and we released that information to you this morning.
We, unfortunately, found out later in the morning, thanks to Barry Sheets, that the language did not survive the overnight. Many of our local representatives had no idea a deal had been made and the protections were traded away!
How many times will so-called "pro-life" politicians betray us and our most vulnerable citizens?? How many times we will elect those officials who claim to be "pro-life" ?
The current Senate Republican leadership are not leaders--they are "pay to play" lifetime politicians who will trade ANYTHING or ANYONE to make a deal, including the unborn and women in crisis pregnancies.
Do not waste your time calling these politicians---they do not really care about you or the ideals you espouse.
Just remember next time they campaign and put "pro-life" on their materials, website, etc. Ask them --what have you actually done that is "pro-life"?.... and then vote accordingly.
In Matt Huffman's case, the answer will be a definitive "nothing."

We would LOVE to know the answers.
In the meantime, join us in prayer for the many babies lost and women harmed at Womens Med Center.
Pray for our politicians.
