Jim Daly Statement on Yesterday's Vote on Ohio's Issue 1

Yesterday’s disappointing vote in Ohio that codified a right to abortion in the state constitution makes clear it’s essential that the critical work of the pro-life movement must carry on with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

No popular vote and no politician can make right the tragic wrong of abortion. This campaign is unlike any other. It’s a rescue mission. We’re determined to rescue women from the lies of an industry that has managed to convince a slim majority of Americans that death is somehow better than life. We’re determined to rescue the lives of as many preborn children as possible through the thousands of pregnancy resource centers across America.

As from the beginning, our mission remains the preservation and promotion of the innocent and the unwavering belief that life is always the better choice.
