Week in Review – Planned Parenthood Funneled $20 Million into Failed Ohio Special Election – Reminds us That Abortion is NOT a Political Issue
On Tuesday, Ohioans flocked to the polls to vote in the state’s special election that would have raised the threshold of support for state constitutional amendments from 50% to 60%.
The initiative failed, with voters opting to keep the threshold needed at 50%.
This was brought to the polls to fight a Planned Parenthood-funded initiative set to hit the ballot this November in Ohio. The proposed constitutional amendment would enshrine abortion into the state’s constitution.
While the fight in Ohio is certainly far from over, pro-aborts are using the election results to create momentum for the ballot in November, with Planned Parenthood leading the charge.
In fact, leading up to the special election, Planned Parenthood outspent pro-lifers 5 to 1 in advertising and awareness campaigns. This is truly a David and Goliath situation.
“Planned Parenthood and its allies reportedly spent almost $20 million in Ohio to mislead voters which was more than five times as much as pro-lifers,” says ALL’s STOPP director. “They will do it again in other states in 2024. Meanwhile, the US Congress is considering a bigger budget that will continue to fund Planned Parenthood with our tax dollars. It must be stopped.”
This doesn’t stop with Ohio. Pro-aborts and Planned Parenthood are using Ohio as a testing ground. If Planned Parenthood’s evil initiative is successful in Ohio, they are set to attempt the same thing in 30 states in 2024.
“As it stands today, Planned Parenthood — the nation’s #1 abortion provider — is prepared to spend tens of millions of dollars forcing these abortion/transgender amendments in over 30 states in 2024,” says ALL executive vice president Hugh Brown. “Just in time to help swing the presidential elections (or so they think).”
We cannot allow these evil constitutional amendments to sweep our nation.
This also serves as a reminder that abortion is not a political issue. Politics can certainly aid in protecting lives, but abortion is ultimately a spiritual battle of good versus evil.
“The Ohio debacle teaches a valuable lesson about ballot initiatives: setting rules about how a state constitution can be manipulated with words does not work when the question at hand is killing innocent people,” says ALL president, Judie Brown. “As is always the case, politics is not about babies and babies are not political issues.”
Spread the word as much as you can about what Planned Parenthood is doing in Ohio. And please pray for the pro-lifers in Ohio and around the nation who are fighting to stop this initiative in its tracks. As always, please continue to pray fervently for an end to abortion and its evils.
The fight is far from over!

Pro-Life Social Media – ‘Brain Death’ Is about to Be Redefined
American life League spent a great deal of time this week talking with several media outlets. A rundown is available in the In the News section.
One of those interviews with Relevant Radio covered the move to redefine the mythical brain death. Saying someone appears to be brain dead has little to do with empirical data and more to do with subjective opinions based on external observations. It’s a deadly, serious topic of which everyone should be mindful.
Below, Hugh Brown visits Trending with Timmerie to discuss the efforts to redefine brain death.
