In a letter home, he mused, \u201cIs not \u200cthe negro a man? Warmed with the same\u2062 sun, hurt with the \u200csame weapons, having \u2063the same feelings, affections, aspirations that the white man has? \u200bWhy then should he be a \u200cslave to\u200c his fellow man?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you why, Alexander Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy, declared a \u2062year earlier.

Does she not have a heart?\u200c Can he not feel pain? Does not her humanity move toward a future?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ohio has long been the protector \u200cof the unborn. In 1834, the\u200b Ohio General \u200bAssembly\u200b passed a law banning abortion, save to\u200c \u201cpreserve the life\u201d\u2062 of the woman. In 1913, the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed that protection. After <em>Roe\u2063 v. Wade<\/em> destroyed the protections of the unborn in \u2062all 50 states, Ohio and many of \u200dits municipalities \u2064attempted to pass limited protective legislation.<\/p>\n<p>But following the shock of the\u200c United States \u2064Supreme\u200d Court\u2019s decision\u200b in <em>Planned Parenthood v. Casey<\/em> in 1992, the pro-life movement set to work\u2063 to \u2064rectify the harm wrought by that fractured decision.\u2063 Among \u200bthe states, Ohio has been in the lead \u200bin the passage of legislation affirming the humanity of the unborn.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995, just three years after <em>Casey<\/em>, Ohio was \u200dthe first state \u200bto pass a ban on partial-birth abortion, later repassed when such \u200ca restriction was constitutionally approved. A \u201cheartbeat\u201d bill\u2062 was first \u2062brought before the Ohio General Assembly \u2064in 2011, and, although\u2062 defeated at \u200dthe \u200btime, spurred other states\u200b to enact \u201cheartbeat\u201d bills. Along with other\u2062 states, Ohio \u2062passed its own such bill in \u20642019 \u2063(which is\u200b now enjoined\u200c awaiting appeal and \u200bdecision by the Ohio \u2063Supreme Court). Now 15 states have\u200d similar \u200b\u201cheartbeat\u201d bills.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-504af01df33a777d4c72547facce57ab fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-504af01df33a777d4c72547facce57ab\"><\/div>\n<p>Other protections dot\u2063 the Ohio Revised Code. Abortions\u200b may \u2062not be performed after \u2063viability (set at 22\u200c weeks of gestation) or, in another law, after 20 weeks (when\u2063 the unborn child can feel\u2064 pain). Ohio also has a fetal homicide act (effective from\u200c the time of conception) and a Born Alive Act\u2064 (currently enjoined) \u2063that would \u200bprotect a child\u200b born alive \u2063after a failed abortion. Babies with Down syndrome cannot be \u200daborted for that reason.<\/p>\n<p>Women seeking \u200cabortion must be provided\u2062 with information about the status of their unborn child. The Woman\u2019s\u2064 Right to Know Act requires women to be given information\u200c not only \u2064of their \u200cdeveloping baby (with pictures), but also of the help that is available\u2063 to them (including free pregnancy\u200b centers), and the legal requirement of the \u200cfather to provide child \u200csupport. There is\u200b a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abortion-amendments-in-the-works-in-eight-states-what-to-watch-heading-into-2024\/\" title=\"8 states working on abortion amendments: Key developments for 2024.\">24-hour \u200bwaiting period<\/a>, and if the procedure involves an ultrasound, the woman\u200b must be given \u200bthe opportunity\u200b to view the results. There is also a parental consent requirement for minors seeking an abortion and a requirement that a physician be present when an abortifacient drug \u2064is administered\u200b (currently enjoined for other reasons).<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in these\u2062 laws makes any sense unless that entity in\u200c the \u2064womb is \u200ca human person \u2014 \u200bin fact, a child.<\/p>\n<p>The proponents of Issue 1 have an answer: They don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t care if\u200c the fetus is\u200d a human person. The child\u2019s subordination\u200c to the will of its mother is, as Alexander Stephens would have put it, \u201chis \u2063natural and\u2063 normal condition.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-dcdf973b1ab28ae038a1f6f8bfa91697 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-dcdf973b1ab28ae038a1f6f8bfa91697\"><\/div>\n<p>James Madison, on the floor of\u200c the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, recoiled from the proposition that the Constitution should formally \u200drecognize slavery.

The pro-life movement \u200ccontinues \u200bto face challenges and opposition from\u200b those who advocate \u200bfor unrestricted access to abortion. In\u2062 recent\u200d years, there have been attempts to \u2064pass \u2064laws that would expand \u200caccess to abortion and\u2063 undermine the existing protections for the unborn.\u2062 However, the pro-life movement in\u200b Ohio remains resilient and committed \u200cto protecting\u200c the sanctity of\u2062 life.<\/p>\n<p>One of \u200cthe key battlegrounds in the fight for\u2062 life in Ohio is\u2062 the\u2064 issue of taxpayer funding for abortion. Ohio has \u200ba \u2064longstanding policy \u200bthat prohibits \u2062the use of state\u200b funds for abortions, except \u200bin\u2063 cases of rape, incest, or to save the life \u2062of\u200c the mother. However, there\u2064 have been efforts to repeal this\u200b policy and use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. \u2063The \u2063pro-life movement in Ohio has been steadfast in \u200copposing any attempts to use public funds \u200bfor abortion and\u200b has successfully prevented \u2063the expansion of taxpayer-funded \u200cabortion in the\u200b state.<\/p>\n<p>The pro-life movement in Ohio is \u200balso focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/proponents-of-ohios-issue-1-understand-the-inhumanity-of-abortion-they-just-dont-care\/\" title=\"Supporters of Ohio's Issue 1 are aware of the cruelty of abortion, but remain indifferent.\">supporting women facing unplanned pregnancies<\/a> and\u200b providing them with alternatives to abortion. \u2064There are\u2062 numerous pregnancy resource centers and organizations across the state that offer counseling, financial assistance, and other\u200d support services \u2064to \u2062women in need. These organizations\u2063 work tirelessly to empower women\u2062 and provide them with the resources they need to\u200b choose life for\u200c their\u2063 unborn children.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d addition, the pro-life movement in Ohio is working to educate the public about \u200cthe humanity of the unborn and \u200cthe devastating impact\u2064 of abortion. Through grassroots\u2063 efforts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/group-that-allegedly-committed-10-armed-robberies-in-30-minutes-caught-on-camera-its-very-shocking\/\" title=\"10 armed robberies in 30 minutes caught on camera by alleged group, shocking.\">community outreach programs<\/a>, and educational initiatives,\u2063 pro-life advocates are raising awareness about the value and dignity of every human life. They are challenging the prevailing narrative that \u2062treats abortion\u200b as a simple medical procedure\u200b and highlighting the\u2062 complex \u200bethical and moral questions surrounding \u200cthe issue.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063fight \u2064for life in Ohio is not just a political \u200dor\u200c legal battle. It is a struggle\u200c for the hearts and minds of the people and a fight to\u2063 uphold the \u2062principles of justice and equality. The pro-life movement in Ohio is driven by a deep belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every\u200d human being, from conception to \u200cnatural death. \u200bThrough their tireless efforts, they are working to \u200dbuild\u2062 a culture of\u200d life in Ohio and create \u2063a society that respects and protects the sanctity of every human life.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2064the soldier on the Rappahannock recognized more than\u2064 a\u200b century ago, the question \u200dof whether the unborn child is a human being is a fundamental moral and philosophical question. In Ohio, the pro-life movement is answering that question\u2063 with a resounding &#8220;yes&#8221; and fighting to \u200densure that\u200b every child in the womb is given the chance to \u2062live \u2064and\u2064 thrive. The fight \u200bfor life in \u2062Ohio is a\u200d fight for justice, compassion, and the future of our \u200csociety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1862, a soldier from the 20th New York State Militia witnessed black slaves leaving their plantations for Union lines and freedom.
