Ohio General Assembly eyes two abortion bans as clock ticks on legislature

COLUMBUS, Ohio - With no debate, Ohio lawmakers advanced a bill Tuesday afternoon that would ban the abortion procedure known as dilation and evacuation.

D&E is typically used from 13 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Senate Bill 145 is not the only abortion ban lawmakers are considering in the final days of the 132nd General Assembly. House Bill 258, which was stalled in a committee again on Tuesday, would ban abortions when a fetal heartbeat is detected. That can be as soon as six weeks, or before a woman knows she’s pregnant.

Both chambers will likely meet for the last time on Thursday.

However, each chamber has time penciled in next week, in case they’re needed.

that need to be addressed in Ohio ..... this same group of troglodytes keeps obsessing over this issue. It's the only thing they've been focusing on for years.

Not even an exception for rape, or incest. Gosh it sucks to live in a red state.
