As pro-abortion groups work to promote abortion in Ohio, another group has set up 30 billboards across the state, specifically targeting Catholic voters.<\/p>\n

Catholics for Choice, the controversial abortion advocacy group, announced a “billboard blitz<\/a>,” with signs reading \u201c63% of Catholics support legal abortion in all or most cases\u201d and \u201cPro-Choice Catholics: You Are Not Alone.”<\/p>\n

In a press release, Catholics for Choice President Jamie Manson said the campaign is specifically meant to rebut the pro-life campaigns being presented by the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

“In the same way bishops are organizing their parishes to try to defeat Issue 1, so too must pro-choice religious groups mobilize to say: \u2018Not in the name of our faith will you take away fundamental freedoms.\u2019 Ohio\u2019s Catholic bishops are pulling out all the stops to stigmatize and silence pro-choice Catholics across the state, preaching blistering sermons from the pulpit and pouring an astonishing $1.4 million into the campaign to defeat this abortion rights amendment. Their spending is an outrageous misuse of the hard-earned funds that ordinary Catholics donate to their parishes and dioceses,” Manson said. \u201cCatholics for Choice is immensely proud to spend just a fraction of what the bishops are spending in Ohio to counter their harmful messages with the truth of our own: pro-choice Catholics are not alone, and they must help pass Issue 1.\u201d<\/p>\n
