Ohio passes 'heartbeat' abortion bill

State Rep. Michele Lepore-Hagan, a Democrat from a storied Youngstown political family, shed tears during the debate, exasperated at a bill she said would harm Ohio and its future.

State Rep. Candice Keller, a Middletown Republican, called the legislation"the most compassionate bill we've ever passed." During floor debate Wednesday, two female representatives who said they had been raped, slammed the bill for not making exceptions for rape and incest. Another female lawmaker said her great-grandmother bled to death in a bath tub trying self-administer an abortion.

Cackovic said the heartbeat prohibition would require women who want an abortion to determine they're pregnant using an over-the-counter pregnancy test and to race to have the procedure between four and five weeks into pregnancy.

I will help drive you out of state if you need to make a choice.😘🤷🏻‍♀️

GovMikeDeWine Please do not sign this bill. It is going backwards and not forwards. Education on birth control, easy access 'morning after pill', easy access birth control, extensive counseling will help more women. This is too far.

Great 'news'!! Thank you Alabama! !

gop want to make women defacto slaves of the state.....they was to government to control a woman womb

I’m still waiting for legislation dictating what men are legally allowed to do with their seman.

My 18 yr old just had her first abortion (she's bisexual). I'm proud of her & excited she's about to graduate w/honors. I went with her, it was actually a pretty cool experience. The staff was very professional. The doctor was knowledgeable & explained every step, I learned alot

Gotta kill more babies!!!

Those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it. Before Roe v Wade, women did it themselves with coat hangers .. So not only did the fetus die, but in many cases, the mother as well.. Laws will NOT stop abortions .. Laws don't stop drug use, etc ..They just create bigger issues

The heartbeat bill in Ohio has zero merit. Women are not even aware they are pregnant at 6 weeks. Women have a right as it pertains to the decisions regarding their bodies. Do not pass the heartbeat bill in Ohio. banheartbeatbillinohio

Why are these GUYS ALWAYS telling women what they should and shouldn’t do! Women MUST push back on being controlled this way! Let’s pass legislation that MEN MUST use birth control if they want SEX!

DUMBAF. The lot of em

This is fantastic!! It is the main job of all politicians to PROTECT Americans no matter their ages. Great Job.

Ok .. The same party (Pubs), that fight abortion, are the SAME idiots that support GUNS AND the DEATH PENALTY .. The death penalty IS MURDER by definition, as murder is one human taking the life of another ..Guns KILL, sometimes in mass numbers .. Fix that!!!

WTF is going on? This is 2019 not the 1900's WHY ARE WE GOING BACKWARD?

Economic boycotts are my favorite

NO they can't. That's murder.

Meanwhile a bunch of voters say “yeah, I know, but I just didn’t *like* Hillary.”

Lets just cut the ducks off of the loser dad’s. That ought to solve the problem.

Demcorats scream black lives matter while black lives are killed during abortion than by anything else.

Great job Ohio! Standing up for the unborn ,who are sentenced to death by their own mothers, when they can’t stand up for themselves.

How dare you not let me murder my baby!!!!!

Democrats love murdering babies

This shit is getting out of control. Trump is judge packing so the alt right can overturn roe v wade. Texas is trying to put women to death for abortions. What is fucking happening to our country? AG protects the president. new DAG wants to repeal brown v board of educ. Wtf

Another victory over Democrat's attempt to kill black children.

Are there any right-Wing Conservatives in the Country left that give a damn about the Constitution of the United States? I didn’t think so...

Imagine where we would be if these republicans cared this much about making sure the Earth was habitable for those babies they claim to care about.

Fight this!

Opponents: we'll sue you so we can keep killing babies.

Unconstitutional

Unconstitutional on its face

OhioCRs ohiogop What about the men who got the women pregnant in the first place? Free ride?

The red states are fighting back for our unborn children.

YAS!!!!! God bless Ohio and Gov DeWine

Ban on abortions after 1st heartbeat sent to Ohio governorCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — No topic seemed off limits, including tales of back alleys and coat hangers, as abortion-rights supporters in Ohio fought perhaps the last battle over a twice-vetoed heartbeat abortion ban, which Gov. Mike DeWine has said he will sign. It's a livin' thing. It's a terrible thing to lose. So if your heart stops you are dead but if it starts you're not yet alive? That just doesn't make any sense at all. But wait...women can't make babies alone! How about charging their sperm donors with homicide, which can carry the death penalty! It takes a sperm & an egg so both should be charged. Fair is fair. If it were men's bodies in question, we would already have 'drive thru' clinics.
