Ohio Voters Reject Right-Wing Issue 1; Battle for Abortion Access Shifts to November
“Porter appeared on Wednesday’s World Prayer Network call hosted by New Apostolic Reformation figure [politicalresearch.org] Jim Garlow, where she said her message will be, “Say no to the nightmare in November.” She claimed that proponents of the November referendum want to enshrine “abortion until birth” and “the transgender agenda of mutilating children without parental consent” in the state constitution. Porter said she wanted to talk to Garlow offline about getting more pastors involved and urged him to travel to Ohio to help; Garlow made a name for himself in the religious-right movement organizing churches to help pass a ban on marriage equality in California in 2008. “This is the greatest threat that we have faced in this state in the history of Ohio,” Porter said, warning that if pro-choice advocates are successful in Ohio, Florida will be next.”
