Archdiocese of Cincinnati steps up efforts to defeat abortion rights amendment
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is stepping up its efforts to defeat Issue 1, the constitutional amendment on the ballot this November that would codify abortion in Ohio.
“We cannot remain silent on a direct ballot question like the one in November, which is a clear threat to human life and dignity,” said Archbishop Schnurr in his pre-recorded homily. “Please pray earnestly for its defeat. Please educate yourself, your family and your friends about its dangers. Please vote 'No' on Issue 1 on November 7.”
But the homily is just the latest in an all-out effort by the church to defeat Issue 1. It has posted videos, sent a letter to all parishioners, and one more thing.
“We’ve made a $500,000 donation to the efforts of Protect Women Ohio specific to the November 7 election for Issue 1,” said Jennifer Schack, the spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. She says the church is unapologetic in its efforts.
The Ohio Legislature had passed a law in 2019 making abortion illegal in the state once a heartbeat can be detected in a fetus. A judge last October blocked the ban, restoring abortion rights temporarily. Issue 1 would make abortion legal in the state permanently.

And yet they're still afforded nontaxable status for being "apolitical".

A Woman Was Denied Medication for Being of ‘Childbearing Age.’ She Just Sued the Hospital
Last September, New York resident Tara Rule posted a raw, emotional video on Tiktok saying she had been denied a medication to treat a debilitating condition called cluster headaches, because her neurologist told her she was of “childbearing age” and the medication could cause birth defects to a hypothetical fetus.
Rule asked if the issue preventing her from getting the “highly effective” medication was solely that she could become pregnant and, “If I was, like, through menopause, would [the medication] be very effective for cluster headaches?” The doctor affirmed it would. He also asked about her sex life and whether she’s “with a steady person.”
In a similar example of post-Roe concerns around the mere possibility of pregnancy impacting people’s access to medication, several people who could become pregnant have reported being denied sometimes life-saving medications that are deemed “abortifacients” by doctors and pharmacists. Even before Roe was overturned, in 2021, a pregnant woman in Alabama was arrested and prosecuted for trying to pick up pain medication from her pharmacist to manage a chronic back condition, as police alleged she was endangering her pregnancy. Rule told Jezebel she’s heard from “people who say they were denied everything from acne medication to chemotherapy for the same reason.”
Rule, whose cluster headaches are exacerbated by her Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, described to Jezebel how the pain can be so severe that she can lose consciousness, and pointed to a study associating cluster headaches with higher rates of suicidal ideation due to unmanageable pain. She’s long struggled to find helpful treatments and said the neurologist wouldn’t even give her the name of the medication he referenced because, Rule said, “he was so determined to protect a hypothetical fetus.”

Indeed. The church, any and all of them, need to shut the fuck up on all matters political unless and until they start paying their entrance fee.

They don't. They file lawsuits, and the Christian National Revolutionary Purity Council (the US Supreme Court) shuts 'em down.

I live in SC. My partner wants to get a tubal ligation because she's concerned that her MS medication could be denied on the grounds that she could become pregnant. She was denied a tubal ligation because MS causes cognitive impairment.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
