Ohio Republicans Go After Roe: Abolish Abortion in Its Entirety

HB 565, sponsored by state Reps. Ron Hood (R-Ashville) and A. Nino Vitale (R-Urbana), would prohibit the termination of a pregnancy by “any method, including, but not limited to, chemical methods, medical methods, and surgical methods.”

The GOP bill would allow physicians and those who undergo the common medical procedure to be charged with murder, which is punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty. The lawmakers circulated a co-sponsor request for the bill in September, in which they criticized the legislation for passing abortion restrictions as “regulating evil” and that it was time to “abolish abortion in its entirety.”

How about putting women under House Arrest once they're diagnosed with pregnancy? You wouldn't want them to cross state lines to kill a child, right?

It also might cause their wives to die when they are forced to carry a dangerous pregnancy. Being a politician doesn't give them a right to oversee another person's medical decisions.

Any woman's period is a day or too late will be monitored.
Next step: Griswold. That's what they're really after.
Anyone who is under the delusion that Kasich is a "moderate" can stop now.
