NPR Broadcasts ORTL's "Brilliant" Strategy to End Abortion

This morning, [Tuesday March 3rd.] NPR aired a national story on Ohio Right to Life's abortion restrictions, a steady stream of which have helped to close half of Ohio's abortion facilities over the last four years. We always hope for accuracy and fairness in reporting and are sometimes struck by telling statements in broadcasts like these. This news story, for example, acknowledged that abortion advocates are calling our strategy "brilliant," a humbling assertion, even if from the least likely of sources.

The truth is that for the last several years, Ohio Right to Life has been pursuing an incremental strategy that continually pushes the envelope and chips away at abortion-on-demand. Today, abortions are at an all-time, 37-year low in our state. Thanks to our statewide membership and our pro-life elected leaders, our incremental strategy is working.

This year, we are continuing our incremental strategy with a game-changing Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, our Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act, and our post-Roe trigger clause. (Read more here.) We are energized at the prospect of saving more lives and changing more hearts and minds than ever before.
