Dear Friends of Life:
Our annual Bring America Back to Life Ad and Billboard Campaign is scheduled for this Fall. Ads and billboards proclaiming a respect for life around Lorain County are planned to run in October.
For this Campaign to be successful, we need your help!
Why we do the Ad and Billboard Campaign?
As many of you know, on June 24, 2022 the U.S. Supreme Court, in its decision Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Association returned the authority to regulate or prohibit abortion to the “people and their elected representatives.”
Tragically, in November of 2023, 57% of Ohioans used that authority to vote in favor of Issue 1, which enshrines unlimited abortion in the Ohio Constitution. Issue 1 is being used by pro-abortionists to dismantle all protections for preborn children in Ohio.
Post Issue 1 polling indicated that most Ohioans didn’t vote for Issue 1 because they wanted unlimited abortion. Rather, they voted for moral relativism and women’s autonomy. That is, Ohioans saw women being able to choose abortion as superior to a preborn child’s right to not be murdered.
The challenge we face, then, is to redirect Ohio in a Pro-Life direction by convincing people of the humanity of preborn children and the inhumanity of abortion. We must re-humanize the de-humanized.
This is the goal of our Ad and Billboard Campaign. We hope to return preborn children (and not “choice”) to being central to the abortion debate. In post-Issue 1 Ohio, this is essential in order to work toward making abortion illegal and unthinkable.
To help bring about a culture of life and love — where every life is protected — Lorain County Right to Life will again conduct an Ad and Billboard Campaign. We are asking local churches and other organizations to collect sponsors to support the Campaign and publicly proclaim their Pro-Life stand.
It is incumbent upon all of us to pray and to work for the day when EVERY abortion is illegal, EVERY abortion is unthinkable, and when the sanctity and dignity of EVERY human life is protected and respected.
What is the Ad and Billboard Campaign?
Our goal is to challenge the people of Lorain County to recognize the sanctity, dignity, and worth of all human lives, especially including the lives of those precious preborn children who are threatened by abortion. The Campaign will consist of:
- Ads in local newspapers and their websites
- Posts on social media
- Website search results, and
- Billboards posted throughout Lorain County,
As mentioned above, these ads and billboards are planned to run through October.
An online version of the print ad (graphics and names) will appear on our website (click here to see the 2024 online ad). Sponsors’ names will again be prominently displayed on our website in order to acknowledge the extreme importance of our sponsors. All print and online ads will have a link to the sponsor names on our website.
Please join us in standing for the protection of all human life.

Alternate Ways to Participate Handout/Insert
Lorain County Right to Life was chartered in 1977 to counteract the evil that had been initiated by the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions in January of 1973 that forced every state in the U.S. to decriminalize abortion on demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy. Since that time, Lorain County Right to Life has been a steadfast proponent of the protection of all human life from conception to natural death. Join us in defending life!
