Ohio is an example because voters approved a constitutional amendment to include abortion in the Ohio Constitution. They did so after far-left groups poured money into ads to persuade the public and to get abortion supporters to the polls.
Kelsey Pritchard of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America tells AFN $60 million came in from abortion supporters in the closing few weeks of the campaign. When the dollar figures were added up, abortion supporters outspent the pro-life side 3-to-1, a difference of $19 million to $7 million.
"Combined with the media bias that we saw is how they won that election in Ohio," she advises. "It was a similar story to what we saw in 2022 in Michigan and other states.”
The vast majority of news outlets are liberal and therefore outlets such as The Associated Press and The Guardian worked to persuade the public to approve Issue 1 and protection abortion.
“It comes as no surprise how biased they were on this issue in Ohio and other states,” Pritchard tells AFN, “because they receive funding from the William and Flora Hewitt Foundation, which funds Planned Parenthood.”
So the loss in Ohio, Pritchard concludes, can be traced to being outspent and to biased media.
