Protect Ohio

WELCOME

The dignity of life in its earliest stages is threatened by a proposed Ohio Constitutional amendment, to be voted on in the November 7th election, to expand and enshrine abortion at the expense of protections for preborn children and women. As Catholics, we cannot remain on the sidelines when confronted with such a clear threat to human life.

Explore the categories below to learn more about and to take action to defeat the proposed amendment in November.

CCO Resources to Oppose the Amendment

The Catholic Conference of Ohio (CCO) is the official voice of the Catholic Church in Ohio on matters of public policy. We have worked with the dioceses across Ohio to equip Catholics in Ohio with the resources necessary to learn about the proposed amendment and take action to oppose it in November 2023.

The Catholic Conference of Ohio is a member of Protect Women Ohio, a larger coalition to help defeat the proposed amendment. Click on the logo to visit the coalition's website.

Supporting Women in Need

The Catholic Church in Ohio and across the U.S. has long accompanied and supported women facing unexpected preganancies, struggling to provide for their families, or suffering from trauma after an abortion.
