Republicans in the Ohio House of Representatives signed onto a bill that would ban all abortions in Ohio and charge doctors who perform them with murder.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – One-third of Republicans in the state House of Representatives signed onto a bill that would ban all abortions in the state – and charge doctors who perform them with murder.
Butler County Rep. Candice Keller, who is running for Ohio Senate in a competitive primary, will co-sponsor the abortion ban. Keller is the executive director of a Christian pregnancy resource center and was a supporter of Ohio's "heartbeat bill," which bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. The new bill would recognize an unborn human as a person.
Proponents of abortion access say the new proposal could lead to women being charged with murder for abortion. They worry the bill could outlaw some birth control. Even with the support of 21 Republicans, it's not clear that a total abortion ban would pass the Ohio House of Representatives. Speaker Larry Householder told The Enquirer he had not looked at the bill.
