John Kasich pledges to sign bill banning abortions due to Down's diagnosis

The Ohio governor John Kasich has said he will sign a state bill currently under debate that would ban abortions carried out because a child has Down’s syndrome.
“I would sign it, yes,” Kasich said in an interview with CNN broadcast on Sunday. “Look, I’m a governor. I’m a CEO. I have to have a hand steady on the wheel.
“But in this case, I’m more than glad to say that of course I would sign that.”
He had not previously commented on the Ohio bill, which its sponsor has said is due for a vote in October.
