'Heartbeat Bill' Passes Ohio Legislature As Opponents Promise Lawsuit

The House Health Committee approved the changes along party lines Tuesday, setting it up for Wednesday's full-chamber vote. Ahead of the final tally, House Democrats proposed amendments to allow exemptions for cases of rape and incest, remove the state statute of limitations on rape, and exempt African-Americans from the restrictions. All were defeated.

This time around, backers garnered the support of Ohio Right To Life, which previously declined to give its endorsement. But with a new governor and a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, the anti-abortion group said it hopes to provoke a legal challenge to overturn the 1973 decision"Roe v. Wade."

"If this is what it takes, we will see you at the Supreme Court," said group president Iris Harvey at a rally outside the Statehouse.

WOSU If you have a hot box, and want sex constantly, but don't want children,follow bob barkers advice. Otherwise choose and sacrifice for your choice. A good relationship with someone who cares is much more fulfilling than sex anyway. Stop being quitters,+spug receptacles. SERIOUSLY.

WOSU

WOSU The injustice done to life that has since the 70's holocausted more deaths than in all the Nazi death camps put together,is beginning to turn around. You who did it still hold guilt by your own realization, not others. Now lets begin anew and take responsibility for creating life

WOSU Wow! Why do these men want to control my Vagina!!! I don’t even know them, yet they are rolling around in my uterus. I bet if their daughter was raped, they would want an abortion immediately! They don’t give two fucks about women or their rights!!

WOSU Boycott Ohio

WOSU Think of all of the money that Ohio will waste litigating this non-sense instead of using the dough to educate people and create jobs (probably leading to fewer abortions). If you look at the amount of kids Dewine has, it’s obvious he doesn’t care about responsible procreation.

WOSU So sad that these decisions are made by men

WOSU Of childbearing age and living in Ohio? Get out. Now.

WOSU My colleague joingles was the lead reporter on this story. She and I have sound and pics here:

WOSU Doesn’t a heart beat usually mean you are alive? Have a heart!

WOSU Good grief. I know most of the politicians want to bring back the “good ‘ol days,” but we’re winding the clocks back a wee bit too far, dontcha think?!

WOSU Great , Great News....

WOSU SMH. Bunch of old white men without a working uterus deciding women's health

WOSU “Democrats tried to add an amendment that would exempt African Americans from the restrictions.” So white babies can be saved but let’s let the black babies still go? That isn’t disturbing to anyone else? Yikes.

WOSU Great job Ohio, you have now created market to bring back metal coathangers again! magashits

WOSU Cases of suicide will jump up

WOSU They seem to want to punish women for having sex.

WOSU 😡😡😡😡😢😢😢😢😢😢

WOSU how many women voted for this atrocity?

WOSU I’m great with one less murder of an innocent child’s life...applause for Ohio

WOSU These are the same men who pushed No Vaccinations without real research. Abortions NOT Mass Murders of children women and men is their worry? GOP failing to protect again.

WOSU Churches must be forced to cover the life care costs for all the unwanted children. Taxpayers will be paying for all the dumpster babies and botched back alley abortions, as well as the incarceration of those women and the doctors.

WOSU That is something for me to ponder about

WOSU Another form of slavery.

WOSU Oh, and by the way, birth control isn’t available either. 😡🤬

WOSU ACLU, I'm looking at you. (Yes, this was in my head in sing-song)

WOSU Why does Ohio hate women?

WOSU All young women who care about reproductive rights and women’s rights should BOYCOTT applying to colleges or jobs in the state of Ohio. This is unacceptable.

WOSU Ohio really is the low-key worst state

WOSU Gross

WOSU I have a feeling that SCOTUS is going to stay away from this for awhile. All theses laws are coming about because there is a belief that the court has shifted to the right. The peolle are watching

WOSU 🖕😡🖕 So... in response to this man bill, I won’t be going to visit the rock & roll hall of fame, or watch the racist named baseball team, or the football team who suck as much as this state - namaste

WOSU Girls and women are damned by their biological ability to bear children.

WOSU A pox on all who support heartbeat bill

WOSU Why are there no laws governing what a man can do with his body? Since it is a fact that women can only get pregnant by the introduction of sperm, how about all males getting a vasectomy at age 13? They can have it reversed later if necessary. Would solve this abortion issue.

WOSU Separation of church and state. I only wish these people were as passionate about the lives of disadvantaged kids and sick kids as they are about fetuses.

WOSU Look at this picture of white men deciding what a woman can do with her body. Strongly believe if you don't have a uterus you don't get an opinion.

WOSU “Fetal Pole Bill”.

WOSU Women in this country need to wake up. You are relegated to second class citizenry by white males. Better fight for your rights. Your grandmothers & mothers fought. It’s your turn.

WOSU Why do we waste the Supreme Courts time with this stuff Women are people who have the right to self-determination. Unless youre prepared to transplant those cells to another, preferably willing uterus, then no court has any right to impose a life long commitment on a person.

WOSU UnplannedMovie A real eye opener!!

WOSU So we know how this affects women. How are men impacted? Oh right they aren’t!

WOSU Disgusting bill. Shameful day in Ohio.

WOSU

WOSU We have the technology now to make babies without sex. So, to keep this fair they ought to ban sex.

WOSU Can’t say I’m surprised.

WOSU What's to top this while still being under Roe's radar? 'No abortion after the commencement of penetrative sex'?

WOSU The lesson here: Don’t sleep with Ohio men. At all.

WOSU Seems like a reasonable compromise.

WOSU Abortion is murder

WOSU 'Rape and incest' cases are how numerous? Really?

WOSU Conservative states really looking to put Roe v. Wade in the ground.

WOSU Let the Republicans pay for the medical costs with their great new plan after 2020. Their mistresses will need it.

WOSU God has spoken!

WOSU bullshit.

WOSU Way To Go Ohio!

WOSU Anyone who is pro-forced birth should be forced to adopt all unwanted children, no exceptions.

WOSU
