Ohio legislators on Tuesday reintroduced a "heartbeat bill," which bans abortion if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as six-weeks after pregnancy.

The bill, introduced in the state Senate by Kristina Roegner (R) and in the state House of Representatives by Ron Hood (R) and Candice Keller (R), will likely have the support of the state's governor.

Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said in January that he would "absolutely" sign the heartbeat bill that was previously vetoed by former-Gov. John Kasich (R).

The Senate version of the bill is similar to the bill Kasich vetoed in December, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

1. If they want to do that...

then the fetus should be expelled immediately and let the hospital be responsible for maintaining the life of the fetus until someone takes it as their own.

Any heartbeat they might find is only as the result of the woman's heart beating.

2. What are they putting in the WATER in Ohio these days ?

There are some serious problems in Ohio for state government to be tackling. Abortion is NOT one of them.

Republicans have become a one-issue party -- They want TOTAL CONTROL over ALL womens' bodies.

3. There we go, the 2nd thing republicans only worry about

They worry about cutting taxes and abortion, they don't do anything else, they don't think about anything else...never a thought about how to better things for people.

The abortion thing is just to keep the mass of evangelicals and religion fanatics voting for them, and the tax is because they owe their contributors, other than that they don't have a platform because everything they say when running for office are lies, they really never intend to do well for the people...why can't people see through these cons?

As Einstein said...only two things are infinite, the universe and people's stupidity, but he wasn't 100% sure about the universe.

He will have an orgasm when he signs this bill....

8. Silly and innocent question follows

Where are they going to get the money to defend, in court, this bill?

I think we all know the drill: Republicans write and pass an unconstitutional bill like this, someone sues, it makes it to the state Supreme Court and gets stomped like a grape, and the taxpayers get stuck with the lawyer bills.
