Don't write the obituary of the 'all life is sacred' mantra. Here's why we lost in Ohio

John Sutter : Issue 1 in Ohio dealt the pro-life movement another stunning defeat in a long string of statewide losses since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

He says the levers of power blocked the truth about Issue 1 at every turn, despite pro-lifers' best efforts.

Ohioans do not want abortion to be legal up to the ninth month on the say-so of an abortionist’s judgment of the “individuals’ health” Sutter says Ohioans want parents to know when children make life-altering reproductive decisions.

Pro-life people around the country must learn both from Ohio ’s failures and our triumphs, authors say.

Ohioans who were fooled into thinking Issue 1 was “reasonable” are about to reap the whirlwind, they say.

Catholic Church in Ohio mobilized, donated millions , and “walked the walk” to defeat this amendment.
