Editor:

Life is a great gift from God and with each and every abortion we perform in this country, we reject God’s perfect gift. As the former President of Ohio Right to Life, I have made protecting children in the womb a cornerstone of my career. We must do more to protect the lives of the unborn in America, which is why I am a proud supporter of Bill Beagle for Congress.

Thanks to legislation that just passed the Senate two weeks ago, Planned Parenthood abortion clinics will receive no funding from the State of Ohio. Bill beagle cosponsored this bill.

Because of our work, every pregnant mother must have the ability to view an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat of her child before choosing to have an abortion. Bill Beagle was a cosponsor of this legislation.

Bill Beagle has authored new Ohio laws to encourage adoption and to help ensure every Ohio child has the opportunity grow and learn in a loving and nurturing family.

Bill Beagle has stood for life time and time again and is the clear pro-life choice in the race for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District.

Mother Teresa once said “any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor.” We need an advocate like Bill Beagle in Washington in order to further the fight against abortion so we can protect every child’s right to life.

I hope you will join me in casting your vote for life on March 15 by electing Bill Beagle as our congressman.
