Yesterday, we told you about the urgent need to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in Ohio. Today reminds us of the continued urgency to pass legislation like this--and the horrors that can occur without it.

Ohio Right to Life saw the introduction of our Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act a year ago. Last spring, we invited expert witnesses from across the state and nation to testify to the fact that unborn babies can feel pain, perhaps more intensely than you or me.

Together, you and Ohio Right to Life bear the beautiful privilege of being a part of the heart that is motherhood. Nineteenth century poet, Robert Browning wrote, "Motherhood: All love begins and ends there."

Just a little bit ago, the Ohio Department of Health began a hearing regarding the status of Women's Med Center, the Dayton-area abortion facility operated by the notorious late-term abortionist Martin Haskell.

For years, legislation to replace the Do Not Resuscitate form has been in the works here in Ohio. Today, the Ohio Senate Civil Justice Committee is holding a final hearing on this legislation. Since the time of pro-life legal scholar Mark Lally, Ohio Right to Life has steadily and studiously worked to promote pro-life provisions for medical orders for life-sustaining treatment. Thanks to Ohio Right to Life's constant vigilance and advocacy over the years, our organization is now at a place where we stand neutral on the state's current proposal.
