Ohio leg. passes 6-week abortion ban - VETOED by Kasich; 20-week bill signed

[ApatheticAustrian]

abortions are something much more intimate and much more "necessary" aka connected to the basic needs of societal female life than vices like robbery and murder.

Banning abortion is doomed to fail...it's like prohibition.

Before Roe vs Wade...there were a million abortions done a year under the table. All banning abortion would do is move it back to those circumstances. And since we all know that no state would be willing to fully enforce jailing women who have abortions, just like with prohibition, then the ban is doomed to fail.

Never understood pro-lifers, their viewpoint on abortion is doomed to fail just like in every other country where abortion is banned

Both of my parents are only alive because abortion was illegal in California until Reagan legalized it in 1967, four years after my father was born and seven after my mother. My father's mother was 17 when she gave birth to my father, and my mother's mother was 16. The latter has even told my mother that she'd have been aborted if it hadn't been illegal in 1960. Don't pretend banning abortion doesn't reduce it. That's horsesh**t.

Anecdotes don't equal reality, especially if you look at Central America and the Middle East.

My baby momma's grand mother and her mother had an abortion. I think for every abortion that is dissuaded, another abortion occurs because detterence has replaced prevention.

66% of Americans agree with a twenty week ban. Let's not pretend this is some radical position to take.

I made the mistake of reading the comments section of some articles about the ban.

Got to read some ignorant, wicked people declare that a twenty week fetus is not human. My child is nearly twenty weeks old. It can kick with enough force that it can be seen through my wife's clothes and gets scared if it hears loud noises. If the baby was aborted it would die in agony. And yet some are willing to call it an unperson. Its monstrous.

Our society sacrifices its most vulnerable among us and calls it choice.

This bill doesn't even have a life of the mother exception to it. Yikes!

The one signed and passed has a life of the mother exception to it. Fake news continues to spread!

the passed one wasn't the reason to make this thread....does the vetoed one have the exception rule? would be more logical for him to talk about that one.

Yeah. That's called being a smart business owner and saving the taxpayer's money and getting lazy people back to work!

Weird seeing people get so worked up over this.  I always thought abortion was something that brings out the kid in you.

I must say the rhetoric of the radical pro-choice crowd is really... uh... disturbing.
