Ohio passes 'heartbeat' abortion bill; leader cites Trump's election

CNN)Donald Trump's election, and a presumption that he'll appoint conservative Supreme Court justices, spurred Ohio Republicans to pass what would effectively be the nation's strictest time-based abortion law, a legislator said. Ohio lawmakers on Tuesday passed a controversial "Heartbeat Bill" that would ban abortions in that state from the moment the heartbeat of a fetus can be detected -- which usually occurs about six weeks into a pregnancy.

What happens next for the bill, which would prohibit such abortions even in cases of rape or incest, depends on Republican Gov. John Kasich, who has 10 days to decide whether to veto the legislation.

This will make some liberal heads explode.

They’ll think we’re going back to the Dark Ages.

They already have. Women be like “well I hope they have enough money for welfare when all these women have babies they can’t afford”.

I’m doing a Tommy Sotomayor and saying “well whore keep your legs closed and that won’t be a problem”.

From what I understand, and I’ve been wrong before, the heart starts beating at 18 days.

I think that’s right but it may not be detectable but sound until 6 weeks.

18 days is what I was told by a Priest at a pro life rally.

Washington state had an abortion bill before Roe vs Wade but the Washington bill only had it legal until the child quickened. Quickening meaning when the child kicks or moves which is at about three months.

I'm not confident about Kasich signing this bill. It is a solid prolife acid test, and I don't think Kasich is solid about anything. We will soon see whether we have been right in distrusting this man.

Is Kasich’s wife a liberal? I didn’t know that. That would explain so much.
