An abortion-rights ad that includes a venerated image of Jesus is drawing pushback from conservative Catholics who want the commercial removed.
“Those who want to eliminate all protections for the unborn in Ohio have resorted to exploiting images of Jesus in order to impose a radical change to the Ohio constitution,” said Mr. Burch.
Ohio Issue 1 would add language to the state Constitution saying that the state “shall not, directly or indirectly, burden, penalize, prohibit, interfere with or discriminate against” the exercise of an individual’s reproductive rights. “Their newest ad campaign features ‘The Divine Mercy,’ a sacred image for Catholics given to a saintly Polish nun in the early 20th century,” Mr. Burch said. “The use of this image to advance the cause of abortion, even painful late-term abortion, is abhorrent and reveals a gross disregard for the cherished faith of millions of Christians in Ohio.”
The U.K.-based Society for the Protection of Unborn Children also raised objections, tweeting: “Don’t try to use Catholic imagery or belief to promote abortion. You’ve tried for decades to get the Catholic vote on abortion issues but with little success.”
