Ohio ‘heartbeat’ abortion bill clears legislature, awaits governor’s signature

(Worthy News) – Ohio’s so-called “heartbeat” abortion bill was approved by the state legislature on Wednesday and is now headed to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk.

The House approved the measure 56-39, and later, the Senate agreed to House changes, 18-13. DeWine, who took office in January, has said he plans to sign the bill.

DeWine’s predecessor, Republican John Kasich, vetoed the bill twice. He said such a law would create a costly court battle and likely be found unconstitutional. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
