Newswire/ -- Last September California Governor Gavin Newsom's campaign paid
to promote abortion via public billboards in seven states, including Ohio. Some
of
Newsom's billboards used the words of Jesus to invite women to travel to
California for abortions: "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no
commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:31
In response to Newsom's blasphemous billboards, a coalition of pro-life
organizations is placing billboards in the same locations as Newsom posted his
pro-abortion billboards. One such billboard is located in Columbus, OH.

"We need to have a conversation in this country --including in
the pro-life movement-- about the true cause of most abortions," said coalition
spokesman Mark Harrington. "The billboards are intended to remind people of the
inconvenient truth that the main driver of abortion is irresponsible sexual
activity."
The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows
that 86.3% of abortions are performed on unmarried women. The abortion ratio was
46 abortions per 1,000 live births for married women and 412 abortions per 1,000
live births for unmarried women – a nine-fold difference.
If men and women stopped having sex outside of relationships truly committed to
protecting the lives of the babies they create, the demand for abortion would
largely disappear. Pro-life resources could then focus on helping families
welcome their unexpected additions.
The Coalition for an Abortion-Free Future is made up of national pro-life
organizations committed to saving children in the womb and ending abortion.
