Steven Ertelt at Lifenews.com wrote a great article regarding Ohio Right to Life’s court victory against the Secretary of State and Ohio Elections Commission (“Ohio Pro-Life Group Celebrates Victory in Lawsuit Over Free Speech Rights”).
Director Mike Gonidakis told LifeNews.com that this ruling is good news for other groups that want to exercise their First Amendment rights as well.
“This is not just about Ohio Right to Life,” he said. “This ruling affects every advocacy group in the state. Gagging everybody for thirty days prior to the election, when the public is just beginning to pay attention to the issues involved is depriving everyone of their First Amendment rights to free speech.”
“Like any advocacy organization, we must be free to inform individuals about life issues, regardless of when an election is scheduled,” he said.
