Pro-life group fires employee whom GOP lawmaker rebuked for pro-Jesus social media post — but she has no regrets

Ohio Right to Life reportedly fired its communications director after her pro-Jesus social media post led a Republican congressman to scorn her publicly.

On Tuesday, Elizabeth Marbach posted to X that there is "no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone." Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), who is Jewish, rebuked the message, calling it "one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen." He demanded that Marbach delete it because she had "gone too far," suggesting she was somehow advocating against "religious freedom."

Miller, whose wife sits on the Ohio Right to Life board as a member trustee, later apologized.

But on Thursday, Marbach was forced out of her job, according to the Sentinel. The outlet reported:

Internal communications at Ohio Right to Life reviewed by The Sentinel showed that Marbach was offered the opportunity to resign from the entity or receive a transition period before her official dismissal, both of which she declined.

In response, Marbach told the Sentinel that she "absolutely" does not regret her actions or her pro-Jesus social media post because "now millions have read the gospel message."

Apparently, the kerfuffle with Rep. Miller came after one of Marbach's colleagues at Ohio Right to Life raised concerns about Marbach's tone on social media.

Specifically, the employee was bothered that Marbach called abortion activist Rachel Coyle a "murderous liar." Marbach shared a text message from that colleague with the Sentinel revealing that Marbach was told "someone shared confidential information I shared with the board" with a progressive newsletter, the Rooster.

On Tuesday, that newsletter described Marbach as a "A Comms Director whose career was in Jeopardy."

Peter Range, CEO of Ohio Right to Life, said in a statement, "Ohio Right to Life can confirm that Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Marbach is no longer employed at Ohio Right to Life. This decision was not based on any single event as some on social media claim. We appreciate Lizzie's service and wish her the best in future endeavors."

Marbach, meanwhile, said she hopes that "God will continue to use this situation to bring glory and honor to his name."

"Pre-born lives are being slaughtered every day, and Ohio Right to Life is one of the few organizations in a position to stop it," she told the Sentinel. "I hope and pray that they would prioritize abolishing abortion in Ohio going forward and not be distracted by politics."

TheBlaze reached out to Ohio Right to Life for comment, but the organization did not respond.

Here is Marbach discussing the defeat of Ohio Issue 1 with WKYC-TV earlier this month. The referendum would have made it more difficult to amend the Ohio state constitution:
