"once a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected"

[eyer]

The Ohio Heartbeat Law...

...has already passed Ohio's House of Representatives and needs a simple majority, 17 of 33 Senators, to move to Governor John Kasich's desk "to be signed into the most protective law in the nation."

The Ohio Legislature resumes September 20 following their summer recess...

...you can Google The Ohio Heartbeat Law to read your fill.

Some supporters are, unsurprisingly, very optimistic:

"We also have every indication that the current Supreme Court will uphold Ohio's Heartbeat Law. In Gonzales v. Carhart (which upheld the ban on partial-birth abortion), the Supreme Court, after nearly four decades of recognizing only "potential life" in the womb, recognized as an undisputed "finding of fact" that a "living fetus" exists from the time of detectable heartbeat! What happens in Ohio will affect the nation! Already seven states are lined up to follow Ohio's lead."

So you're saying that Republicans know when life begins. It shouldn't be a medical or scientific decision.

Viability was the test used in Roe vs. Wade. Somehow, the idea of compromise was lost when pro-abortion extremists started demanding the "right" to abort through all nine months. Roe vs. Wade never held there is a "right" to abort through all nine months of pregnancy.

Pro-abortion extremists are like the pro-gun people who demand the right own bazookas or machine guns. There should be room for compromise.

Well, Roe v Wade says that abortion is Constitutional up until the point of viability. Fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as 18 days. 18 days is not viable.

This bill, which Eyer read about on WND, was written by a conservative special interest group called Faith2action. It has no chance - zero - of surviving a court challenge. Ohio Republicans know that. But they'd rather futter around with pointless crap that's going to waste tax dollars on court battles than actually do their job.

Wow, some people get upset when groups give condoms to teenagers, now they want to make sure babies are protected?

I'd really like to think that no one is demanding the right to abortion up to the last month of pregnancy. Unfortunately, people being what they are I'm sure there are at least a few. Does beg the question of where is the cut-off point.

eh? we should just eliminate all those silly homicide laws while were at it.

Viability occurs around 23 weeks.

88% of all abortions occur pre-viability (first 12 weeks).

Virtually all 3rd trimester abortions occur due to horrible defects in the fetus.

Oh, look an abortion debate among a bunch of people who can't get pregnant.

I keep hearing this and I keep thinking what has that got to do with the baby?

Why punish the baby with death for being alive?

I think too much sometimes.

Some dude had sex with your mother so we are killing you.

Ok then...

The cutoff point is viability of the fetus to live outside the womb, even with artificial support. That's not an exact thing of course. Generally it means earlier than 28 weeks and abortion docs have always been legally covered before that point. Fetuses have often been viable before that point but it's a really grey area.

And of course fetuses with disorders may not be viable until much later on, muddying the waters even further.

It would help create jobs.

with final services trending toward cremation, it would be bad for the environment due to increased fossil fuel usage...
