Ohioans will vote whether to enshrine abortion in the state Constitution Nov. 7
A bipartisan group of Black pastors in Ohio released a letter Tuesday calling on voters to oppose a November measure that would enshrine abortion access in the state Constitution and specifically pointed to the negative impact they say abortion has had on the Black community.
“As Black faith and community leaders across Ohio who are called to care for God’s people, we urge our fellow Christians, the Black community, and all Ohioans who believe in the inherent value of every person to vote NO on Issue 1 this November," the open letter, signed by more than 100 Black faith leaders, states.
"The future of our state, our society, and our race is at stake in this amendment, and we must protect them."
The bipartisan group explained in the letter its message is not about political ideology or a "party line vote." The faith leaders outlined their argument that the Black community has been especially hit hard by abortion.
