I Hate Laughing At Others’ Misery, But This Girl Regrets Her “Semi Permanent” Fake Freckles And I’m DYING
December 12, 2018The Ohio Senate just passed the heartbeat bill, which essentially bans abortions after a heartbeat is detected.
Thank you Ohio Senate for taking bold, decisive action to protect the life of a baby, an innocent unborn human life, at the detection of a heartbeat!

NARAL is mad, which is awesome.
BREAKING: The Ohio Senate just passed a bill that would ban abortion as early as 6 weeks, before most people even know that they're pregnant. #StopTheBans https://t.co/McRs1q7GgV

Just to prove just how NOT “prolife” the republicans are in the Ohio Senate, right before they pass a bill to ban abortion at 6 weeks they pass a bill restricting eligibility for SNAP (food stamps). #StopTheBans #LameDuckOH #NotProLife

Riiiiiight. Because that’s the same thing…except no it’s not. Like in any way, shape or form.
The problem? It’ll now go to Kasich’s desk, and he’s been iffy on it. He vetoed it two years ago, actually.
The Senate also moved to add that abortionists who violate the law could potentially have their licenses to practice medicine be suspended by the State Medical Board of Ohio, without first requiring a criminal conviction.
Previously, Governor Kasich vetoed a heartbeat bill that passed through the state legislature, and has promised to do so again. His successor, Mike DeWine, has said that he would sign it, however, meaning there are several options. With 60 votes, the Senate could overturn a veto from Kasich, or lawmakers could try to delay voting on the new version of the bill until the new year, when DeWine is sworn in as governor and Kasich has left office.
There are other options. We’ll see what happens, but for now, I’ll take this as a victory!
