Faith 2 Action, the group pushing what’s known as the "heartbeat bill," is hoping a new video from media personality Glenn Beck will appeal to his listeners and viewers in Ohio to support the legislation.

“Hi, I’m Glenn Beck, and I hope by now you are aware that the elected officials in Columbus haven’t done the things that you’ve hired them to do, the simple things," Beck says in the video. "They say they’re pro-life but they have held a pro-life heartbeat bill hostage for four years. They say they are pro-teachers and pro-children, but they have yet to repeal the dangerous Common Core curricula. You’ve called, you’ve rallied. But it’s time to go over their heads, and I mean way over their heads and make an appeal...”

Beck says it’s time to appeal to God. And he’s promoting a prayer vigil that supporters of the heartbeat bill plan to hold at the Statehouse next week.
