Ohio House again passes 'heartbeat' anti-abortion bill

By Kim Palmer CLEVELAND (Reuters) - The Ohio House of Representatives on Wednesday again passed a bill that would outlaw abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, or at about six weeks, but it is not expected to become law. The bill is opposed by Governor John Kasich, also a Republican, along with some anti-abortion activists, who think it would be unconstitutional. "With the passage of HB 69, Ohio Republicans have shown they'll stop at nothing in their quest to deny women their rights, no matter how dangerous their efforts may be," said Ohio State Representative Kathy DiCristofaro, chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus. Other anti-abortion bills are also under consideration in the Ohio House, including a 20-week ban.
