“Catholics and nearly all of folks of religion help abortion entry, it doesn’t matter what the hierarchy spends or says. And Ohio’s Catholic bishops spent huge, sinking effectively over $1.4 million right into a shedding marketing campaign so determined that it continuously resorted to lies, misinformation, and anti-trans demagoguery to try to scare voters away. Catholics in Ohio — particularly the numerous who want abortion care — deserve so a lot better from their church.
“Catholics for Choice was proud to spend a small fraction of the cash the bishops spent to fight disinformation and put 47 billboards up throughout the state to share the reality: Pro-choice Catholics are usually not alone. We participated in additional than 20 in-person occasions within the weeks earlier than the election, and we distributed 1000’s of pro-choice Catholic pledge playing cards in help of Issue 1. We are grateful to the pro-choice trustworthy who noticed these indicators and adopted their consciences, all the way in which into the voting sales space.
“Tonight’s victory demonstrates simply how out of contact Ohio’s bishops are with the lives of these they’re referred to as to serve. Catholics who’ve abortions are collaborating richly within the lifetime of the church — certainly 1 in 4 abortion sufferers is Catholic — so the hierarchy and their radical far-right allies should cease perpetuating stigma and disgrace. They could be sensible to observe Pope Francis’s name to come across, exorcise their very own partisan extremism, and remodel their hearts and minds by listening to those that have had abortions..
“Emboldened by the passage of Issue 1 in Ohio, Catholics for Choice will redouble our dedication to completely restoring the basic proper to abortion entry that was so cruelly stripped away via a long time of political maneuvering and overreach by the Catholic hierarchy.”
