Why doesn’t Ohio just move to the Derp South and be done with it?
"Prohibiting abortions at the first detectable heartbeat means prohibiting virtually all abortions…
Essentially, that’s three to four weeks after conception, or one to two weeks after a missed period."
No, no, no – this is all just a big misunderstanding.
Don’t you remember how Kavanaugh assured Susan Collins that Roe is “settled law”?
So…disaster averted, I reckon.
They are not pro life , they are forced birthers call them what they are…
Parts of Ohio hosted some of the biggest memberships of the KKK back in the 1920’s, and not much has changed since then.
Southern Ohio is culturally much more like it’s neighbors Kentucky and West Virginia than it’s northern parts are like their neighbors Michigan, and Canada.
Don’t see what people are complaining about. According to the Constitution, women shouldn’t have the right to vote. Clearly, the Founding Fathers acknowledged the reality that women can’t be trusted to make decisions about their bodies.
Measures like this help to get us back to the roots of this country as envisioned at its creation.
In Texas they debated putting women and physicians to death to teach responsibility for their decisions.
I think a better term would be forced incubation. More dehumanizing, gets their point across better.
Then it follows that legislators should be willing to take responsibility for their decisions, to the gallows if necessary.
lived in my wife’s hometown in Ohio about a decade ago, there she an ectopic pregnancy, her second. the first one was just short of her bleeding out in the emergency room, with this bill the second would have likely killed her, and thus my second son would never have been born, and the first son would have lost his mother at around age 5. She needed an abortion as the nonviable fetus would have grown to a size that her Fallopian tube would have burst and she would have bled out.
fuck Ohio, bunch of freaks anyway, all the weirdest shit seems to be reported out of Ohio
Looks like Ohio will flip to Democrats in 2020.
These laws have nothing to do with women, frankly.
It’s about Republicans staying in power.
And because of our fucking distribution of Senate seats, the Republicans can maintain control of the Senate merely by making enough States unfriendly to any liberal, continuing to drive liberals to the various enclaves while a small minority in these States maintains control at a national level…
It’s decisions like this one that make me so relieved that my own daughter lives in New York.
The headlines never seem to read “Legislators vote to guarantee health insurance”. “Preventive and prenatal care is enhanced”
Ohio is the new Florida?
My only question would be what loophole did Republicans place in this bill that would allow only them to lawfully seek an abortion when their own daughters or their mistresses get pregnant?
Nope just forced birth after that you are own your own…Should have kept your legs together if you can’t afford a child, even a severly disabled one…
I guess they can afford to travel to Pennsylvania
They’ll just fly them out to a Blue State for that.
The punishment only will impact people too poor (or who can’t get time off) to fly out of State.
ETA: friggin’ @kelaine, beating me to it…
Rich white privledge as always,/they will just go to another state…
