Help Protect the Dignity of Life in Ohio
Life in its earliest and most vulnerable stages is threatened by groups proposing an amendment to the Ohio Constitution for the November 2023 ballot to expand and enshrine abortion at the expense of protections for preborn children and women. The Catechism of the Catholic Church proclaims that “human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.” The Church accompanies and supports women facing unexpected pregnancies and mothers through programs like Walking with Moms in Need and the services of Catholic Charities.
The bishops of Ohio strongly encourage Catholics statewide to unite in prayer and work to defeat this proposed amendment and its grave consequences for women and preborn children in Ohio. Starting this week, the following Protect Them Both materials about the proposed amendment are available in Ohio parishes:
· Protect Them Both Prayer Card: Unite with Catholics across Ohio in asking God to strengthen us as we defend and accompany mothers and preborn children
· Dignity of Life Threatened in Ohio Flyer: Learn more about the proposed amendment and what you can do now
These are the first of many resources that will be available to help defeat the proposed amendment. Learn more about the Protect Them Both campaign and access resources online at: ohiocathconf.org/protect
