Gov. Mike DeWine and Cleveland Bishop Edward Malesic are headlining an upcoming fundraiser in the Cleveland area to benefit the campaign opposing the abortion-rights ballot issue.
Gov. Mike DeWine and Cleveland Bishop Edward Malesic will join forces against the proposed abortion-rights constitutional amendment – headlining a fundraiser that will cost attendees $500 a head or up to $50,000 for those who wish to be considered an official event “host.”
The event will be held later this month at the Gates Mills home of Umberto Fedeli, a prominent local businessman and major GOP political donor. Proceeds will go to Protect Women Ohio, the campaign group working to defeat the ballot issue that seeks to nullify the state’s “heartbeat” law and add legal protections for abortion to Ohio’s Constitution.
Although DeWine’s anti-abortion stance is well-known and his opposition to the November ballot issue comes as no surprise, he remained largely in the background during campaigning for Issue 1. That proposed constitutional amendment -- which was soundly defeated in a special election earlier this month -- would have required all future attempts at changing the constitution to win the approval of at least 60% of voters. Had it passed, it likely would have doomed the abortion-rights issue.
However, when it comes to the issue before voters in November, DeWine declared it to be too liberal for Ohio and he pledges to be outspoken about his opposition.Browns at Philadelphia Eagles
