Catholic Bishops of Ohio Issue Letter to Ohio Legislators on Consistent Ethic of Life

In response to House Bill 72 and Senate Bill 134, the Catholic Bishops of Ohio sent a letter to the 136th General Assembly, urging them to uphold a consistent ethic of life. They called for the prohibition of state funding for abortion, euthanasia, and execution, and advocated for the abolition of the death penalty in favor of life without parole.

The bishops emphasized that taxpayer funding for the intentional termination of human life undermines the dignity of those the government exists to serve and protect. They argued that state funds should instead be used to advance the common good and support those in need.
