Ohio lawmakers on Thursday passed controversial legislation that aims to block women from getting an abortion after a fetal heartbeat has been detected.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that Thursday's 58-35 vote marked the second consecutive session in which the House passed the bill. It passed the House and Senate in December 2016, but was vetoed by GOP Gov. John Kasich.
“The point is, it’s time. It doesn’t matter if the governor is with us or against us,” one of the bill's sponsors, Rep. Christina Hagan (R), said. Governor-elect Mike DeWine (R) has said he would sign a so-called “heartbeat” bill, the paper notes.
The bill, which would effectively prevent an abortion after six or seven weeks of pregnancy, does not grant exceptions in the event of rape or incest, the paper reported.
Under the legislation, any doctor violating the bill could face fifth-degree felony charges, which carry up to one year in prison.
The bill is now on its way to the Ohio Senate, where it would need 60 votes to override a potential veto, according to the newspaper.
Earlier this year, Iowa lawmakers similarly voted to pass legislation seeking to prohibit any abortion after a heartbeat is detected.
Nineteen states adopted a total of 63 restrictions to abortion last year, the highest number since 2013, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
Wait for it...Wait for it...the Dems will file a lawsuit!! That is their modus operandi.
A new individual comes into existence at conception. That is a human life. This is undeniable fact. Call it science if you wish, but it is reality.
This is based on human nature. Opposition to abortion stems, among other reasons, from respect for the new human individual.
There is absolutely no justification for the current practice. It is based solely on the demands of man-hating, fangtooth feminazis who are obsessed with the “patriarchy”. The democrat party has chosen to give them their demands solely for votes and campaign contributions.
In order to justify their actions which are contrary to human nature, abortionists have taken to wearing shirts which proclaim their pride in having terminated a life and to marching in the streets to shout and scream their guilt away while expressing their hatred for pro-lifers. They write articles on why abortion is good for you. They make ads in which they proclaim that a beautiful baby deserves to be killed.
They cannot suppress their own human nature completely. They attempt to, but human nature wins in the end, and they suffer from severe mental illness and despair.
They will get no sympathy from me.
I beleive life begins at conception but l doubt we can get that. For now l think we have a good chance at a ban beyond the first trimester that survives a court challenge.
Since the headline was tagged with the word “controversial” I knew which side the gerbilist was on.
Yes, very good!
Actually, though I, too, am a believer that life begins at conception, at least from a rhetorical point of view, I think that it might be an effective counter-argument to the pro-death argument that "it's only a mass of cells!"
A mass of cells? With a heartbeat?!
