The following can be attributed to GCRTL Executive Director Beth Vanderkooi.
"Last July, City Council pushed through an abortion slush fund of more than $1,000,000. Included in that was $26,500 to Pro-Choice Ohio, an abortion lobbying group, for the sham purpose of investigating pregnancy centers. This highly questionable waste of taxpayer funds was pushed through with no advance notice or hearings right as City Council went on recess.”
Giving Pro-Choice Ohio government authority and funding to investigate pregnancy centers is highly unethical and creates an obvious conflict of interest.”
"Pregnancy centers and churches across Ohio continue to face violence and threats from unhinged abortion advocacy groups, and this is exacerbated by the reckless decisions and political bias of politicians who should know better."

The measure is sponsored by Columbus Council Members Lourdes Barroso De Padilla and Shayla Favor. To contact City Council members to ask that they not extend this ridiculous contract, visit the City Council website and send a brief but respectful note.
