Title-Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signs bill requiring fetal remains be buried or cremated
Jessie Balmert
Cincinnati Enquirer


snip-"COLUMBUS – What started with then-Attorney General Mike DeWine's 2015 investigation into Planned Parenthood ended with the Republican governor signing a bill on Wednesday that requires fetal remains be buried or cremated.

Senate Bill 27 requires any aborted zygote, blastocyte, embryo or fetus to be buried or cremated. Any woman who obtains an abortion in Ohio would be informed prior to the procedure that she can choose the final disposition of the fetal remains."

snip.""Not only is Senate Bill 27 unconstitutional and medically unnecessary, it also adds yet another barrier for patients who are trying to access abortion services – which is the legislature’s real goal," said Lauren Blauvelt-Copelin, vice president of government affairs and public advocacy at Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio

snip-"DeWine has consistently supported restrictions on access to abortions. Last year, he signed the state's most restrictive abortion ban, which would prohibit them as soon as six weeks into a woman's pregnancy. That law, called the "heartbeat bill," is being challenged in court."

Any time I see a comment about him being a “reasonable moderate” Republican I have to reply “he’d be a great guy if he didn’t hate women.”

I gained 2 tablespoons of respect for him in March till May because he made it clear Dr Acton was the go to for Corona advice. When gun toting RWers showed up at her home, he tut tutted, wagged his finger and didn't fight fir her with the Ohio General Assembly.

Any reservoir of respect I had for him is gone.

and a little bit of bad in the best of us . . .

Every now and then people we vehemently disagree with do something we approve of. It doesn't much change my feelings about them.

How about they hand-deliver the fetal remains to Donny and Rudy so they can make a nice Regenerol smoothie to cure their Covid-19 symptoms
