Communications Director for Ohio Right to Life Fired After Spat with Congressman
Pro-life activist Elizabeth Marbach was terminated from her position as the communications director for Ohio Right to Life after making comments which triggered Congressman.
On Tuesday, August 15, Marbach, who is a former Trump campaign and Ohio Republican Party member, Tweeted “There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone.” The tweet garnered 2,163 Reposts and 2.2 million views. Among the many responders was Ohio republican congressman Max Miller. During the course of several angered replies, Miller took umbrage with the religious views of Marbach and demanded she “Delete” the tweet.
Marbach refused to delete the post and responded to Miller. In her tweet, Marbach said “Sorry, Congressman, but these are the words of Jesus himself. “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” No one has hope outside of Jesus Christ and every knee will bow one day declaring that Jesus Chris is Lord.”
In his final reply to Marbach, Miller said “God says that Jewish people are the chosen ones, but yet you say we have no hope. Thanks for your pearl of wisdom today.”
Traditionally, Christian theology has held the belief that salvation of one’s soul can only come through faith in Jesus. It should be noted that it also affirms the belief that all people are made in the image of God and have inherent value.
Miller’s wife, Emily Miller, sits on the board of directors for Ohio Right to Life. Not long after the public disagreement, Marbach was given the ultimatum of either resigning or accepting a transition period before a formal dismissal. Marbach allegedly refused both and was promptly terminated.
Her termination comes not long after an earlier controversial tweet in which Marbach referred to pro-abortion activist Rachel Coyle as a “murderous liar.”
Marbach’s rebuttal tweet to Coyle underlined several phrases within the proposed constitutional amendment in November, which some have argued would open the door to child sex changes or limitations on parental rights.
