March for Life
Each year Dayton Right to Life sponsors groups to attend the March for Life in Washington D.C. This annual March marks the anniversary of the Roe vs Wade United States Supreme Court decision on January 22, 1973. We encourage schools, churches, and community groups to participate in the March and attend the other pro-life activities in our nation’s capital. Dayton Right to Life typically has 3-4 buses with over 150 attendees.

For more information on next year's March, visit http://marchforlife.org

Protesting Planned Parenthood
Dayton Right to Life Society coordinates with other groups to promote awareness and bring local attention to the nation's largest abortion provider. The Planned Parenthood facility in Dayton does not perform surgical abortions, but does receive public funds from Montgomery County. For more information on Planned Parenthood's unsavory history and tactics, read here.

Protesting Wright State Physicians
Abortion is currently possible in Dayton only because of the active support provided by the Wright State Physicians to local abortionist Martin Haskell. Local hospitals have steadfastly refused to enter into a written transfer agreement with Haskell's abortion clinic, as required by Ohio law. However, a series of "emergency back-up" agreements between Haskell and Wright State Physicians has allowed his abortion clinic to remain open. For details on this relationship, read here. Dayton Right to Life Society, along with other local activists, continues to protest the action by Wright State Physicians, by mail campaigns, sidewalk campaigns, and other means.

5 Things Planned Parenthood doesn't want you to know...

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider on the planet. 1 out of every 4 abortions are performed in a Planned Parenthood center in the U.S. That is over 5800 babies killed every week.*
*PPFA Annual Report
There are over 15 clinics** in Montgomery County that provide the same services and more! Planned Parenthood of Dayton provides limited gynecological care. You are rarely seen by a doctor, and if they find a problem during your visit, they will have to make a referral to another health facility that actually can help you. And no, not one Planned Parenthood on the planet provides mammograms.
**see detailed list
Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio's medical director is an abortionist. The medical director of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio, Roslyn Kade, is also an abortionist at the Women's Med Center in Kettering, Ohio.
Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio performed over 2000 abortions. ODH reports in 2013, over 2000 abortions were performed in Hamilton county. This does not include the chemical abortions (emergency contraception) performed at the Dayton facility.
Montgomery County has budgeted over $60,000 to Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio. In the 2014 General Supported Services Fund Award, the Human Services levy allocated $60,130 to Planned Parenthood. On June 23, 2015 all three Montgomery County Commissioners approved $30,000 of YOUR tax dollars for Planned Parenthood through June 2016!
That's over $90,000 since 2014!

National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children
Dayton's historic Woodland Cemetery is one of only two gravesites in Ohio, and only 47 in the United States, where the remains of aborted babies are buried. There, Dayton Right to Life Society maintains two gravesites where a total of seven aborted infants are buried. Each year in September we host a community memorial service to mourn these children and remember all the victims of abortion. Access The National Day of Remembrance website here. See a map of the main gravesite at Woodland Cemetery. Our Woodland gravesites are also the location for community Roe v. Wade events each January.

Legislative Outreach and Education
The Dayton Right to Life Society regularly meets with elected and appointed officials on all LIFE issues pertaining to the Miami Valley and State of Ohio. We provide ongoing education for these officials, as well as the community, on LIFE issues ranging from conception to natural death. Working in conjunction with Ohio Right to Life, we have helped influence the enacting of significant pro-life legislation at the state level in recent years. To learn more about recent pro-life legislative accomplishments, read here.
