I understand that some of you may be wondering why Mike DeWine was not endorsed by RTLACO. Firstly, he did not take the survey by which RTLACO could make that determination. We do not know why he refused to take the survey.
I just received this piece and thought I would share it with our readers. I find it a bit disturbing. You be the judge:
Mike DeWine says he is “100% pro-life” but when you’re not looking he has confirmed Liberal, pro-Planned Parenthood Judges.
• Instead of fighting for conservative jurists nominated by President George W. Bush, DeWine joined with Democrats and liberal Republicans to undermine 10 of the most conservative judicial nominees. They became known as the Gang of 14.(1)
• DeWine voted YES on Merrick Garland (later nominated by Obama to the Supreme Court), even Mitch McConnell voted NAY.(2)
• DeWine voted YES on Sonia Sotomayor when even John McCain and Mitch McConnell voted NAY.(3)
But that’s not all… DeWine’s support of liberal justices has undermined the pro-Life community here at home, in Ohio.
Mike DeWine is the reason why Planned Parenthood still can receive Medicaid money in Ohio.
In 2016, when even John Kasich did the right thing, and signed House Bill 294 sponsored by a pro-life Democratic Rep. Bill Patmon of Cleveland and Republican Rep. Margaret Conditt of Butler County, DeWine’s liberal antics 10 years ago is the reason why Planned Parenthood is still getting state funding.
House Bill 294 was passed in February 2016, signed by the Governor and went into effect in May, but Judge Michael R. Barrett of U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio issued a restraining order preventing the state from enforcing the law!(4 )
Instead of fighting this himself, DeWine let his Assistant Attorney Generals take lead on this case. Was it because Judge Michael R. Barrett was shepherded onto the bench by Mike DeWine in 2006?
When Mike DeWine blocked conservative appellate nominees like Peter Keisler, Robert J. Conrad and Steve A. Matthews and made sure they never even got a hearing, DeWine went to the mat to get a Planned Parenthood Progressive judge on the bench, here at home, right in Cincinnati.
Speaking on the floor of the Senate D.C. DeWine said, “Mr. Barrett is an outstanding attorney, a man who has shown his dedication to public and community service throughout his life. I am confident he will be an excellent addition to the bench.”
Judge Michael R. Barrett, the ACTIVIST judge who stood for Planned Parenthood, and ruled against the state of Ohio is the man that Mike Dewine said, “is a good person… Michael Barrett is an outstanding nominee. I am proud to support his nomination, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.”

This in from Cincinnati RTL:
Taxpayers Must Finance Grants to Abortionists
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, April 18, 2018 (Cincinnati, OH):
August 3rd, 2017 the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals (Judges Eugene Siler, Eric Clay, and Helene White) heard Case 1:16-cv-00539 Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio v. Lance Himes, at Potter Stewart Courthouse in Cincinnati,.
February 22nd, 2016 Ohio Governor John Kasich signed House Bill 294 (lead sponsors Representatives Bill Patmon and Margy Conditt) to block abortionists in Ohio from qualifying for five federal funding programs administered by the Ohio Department of Health.
This in from Priests for Life:
We continue to ask for your help in supporting Baby Alfie and his parents, who are fighting for his life in the UK, where neither the hospital nor the courts are willing to give him basic treatment.
And Pope Francis asks your help too! He sent out a tweet the other day saying that he hopes this baby can receive proper care!
It is important to keep in mind some basic facts about this case:
Alfie is not dying.
Alfie is stable and has been for a year.
Alfie is NOT in a coma or a semi-vegetative state.
He is drugged.
He is undiagnosed
and many recommended tests have not been done.
Alfie does not need any experimental treatments. Everything he needs is standard and used around the world. Alfie's best interests are to go home with his parents with a tracheostomy and a feeding tube and to be re-evaluated for possible diagnoses and alternative treatments.
By denying Alfie the tracheostomy and the special kind of feeding tube he requires, the hospital is blatantly orchestrating his death. The tracheostomy is far more comfortable, does not need sedation, can aid in weaning from ventilation and can allow Alfie to go home to live, with or without ventilation.
Alder Hey Hospital continues to keep Alfie heavily sedated with anti-seizure drugs.
But when he has a tracheostomy, this sedation would no longer be needed and his seizures could be managed another way.
We need to put pressure on the hospital!
Baby Alfie Evans is 22 months old and has been a patient at Alder Hey since December 2016. A year later, his parents began to make arrangements to have him flown to Bambino Gesu hospital in Rome where he would receive a tracheostomy and a feeding tube while doctors tried to determine what was wrong with him. The parents have relied on donations made through a crowd-funding website to finance the effort. A hospital in Germany also is willing to take the baby.
Hospital officials refuse to allow the transfer, and a succession of British courts agreed with the hospital.
We need your voice!
Please click HERE to send an email to hospital officials. Tell them no one has the right to decide for the parents what is in the best interest of their child.
Remember, even Pope Francis is asking you to help in this case! Please act today, and please pass along this email to as many others you know who may be interested.
And thank you for being part of the Priests for Life Family!
Sincerely,
National Director, Priests for Life
