Is it ever okay to kill a baby?<\/p>\n

I know the question is absurd. Basically, everyone has the same answer: No, it\u2019s never okay to kill a baby.<\/p>\n

But what if I added more context? What if the baby sleeps in his mother\u2019s womb, instead of a crib? What if the baby is still a few days or hours away from being born?<\/p>\n

What if I changed my wording? What if instead of asking \u201cIs it ever okay to kill a baby?\u201d, I said: “Is it ever okay to abort a fetus?”<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that the meaning of the words hasn\u2019t changed. The word \u201cabortion\u201d means terminating or killing a fetus. And the word \u201cfetus\u201d means a pre-born baby.<\/p>\n

So, though the meaning of the words hasn\u2019t changed \u2014 have your answers changed? Do you still believe it\u2019s never okay to kill a baby?<\/p>\n

Ignore the euphemisms, pro-abortion people believe it\u2019s okay to kill babies. It\u2019s as simple as that. They are neither pro-life nor pro-choice. They are pro baby-murder. This is why Ohio\u2019s pro-abortion movement is campaigning that it\u2019s okay to kill late-term babies.<\/p>\n

Ohio\u2019s pro-abortion movement has proposed a constitutional amendment called ISSUE 1. Ohioans will vote on the amendment on November 7th. If the majority of people in Ohio vote \u201cyes\u201d on Issue 1, it will amend the state\u2019s constitution and make transgender mutilation and abortion a constitutional right for all residents, including minors.<\/p>\n

This means that if Issue 1 passes, minors can book appointments at Planned Parenthood to have an abortion or get so-called \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d without parental consent. And especially, it would make abortion legal at every stage of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

In other words, Issue 1 says it\u2019s always okay to kill a baby \u2014 if they are months, weeks, days, or even hours from being born.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0CDC<\/a>, there are almost 13,000 late-term abortions in America every year. The reports of Hamas beheading 40 Israeli babies horrified many of us. But Planned Parenthood beheads thousands of babies every year. Planned Parenthood will behead many more babies in Ohio if ISSUE 1 passes.<\/p>\n

According to a\u00a0poll<\/a>, 58% of people in Ohio are planning to vote \u201cYES\u201d on Issue 1, including (shamefully) 39% of Republicans. So if you live in Ohio, please make sure you raise awareness on this. This is the most important vote in Ohio\u2019s history. It\u2019s simply a matter of life and death. Your vote could save thousands of lives.<\/p>\n

If you really believe it shouldn\u2019t be legal for anyone to kill their child \u2014 if you really believe it\u2019s never okay to kill a baby, then vote \u201cno\u201d on Issue 1.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re not in Ohio, please pray for us. Pray that pro-life people would outnumber pro-abortion people on November 7th.<\/p>\n\n
