Ohio bill would outlaw all abortion: no exception for woman’s life
Well, at least they’re being honest about not giving a shit about women’s lives:
House Bill 228, as proposed by State Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Cincinnati, would criminalize all abortion -- whether to save the life of the woman or to end pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.Furthermore, it would make it a felony for anyone to take a woman across the state line to obtain an abortion elsewhere. (Emphasis added)
I guess Ohio is trying one-up South Dakota.
Kellie Copeland, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio,
says “South Dakota legislators launched an attack on a woman's right to
choose...Will Ohio lawmakers now follow them down this path with an
even more extreme ban?”

When is everyone going to realize choice is about privacy, it is about the right to control your own body and life. Privacy is in every aspect of our lives from deciding what car we will drive to what if any cancer treatment we will seek. The government and I will not tell another person what religion they should be or what car they should drive or to tell them they have to have an abortion. So the government and anti-chioce people shouldn't tell me I can't have an abortion. My body, my choice! My private life is my business, no one elses.

Would a law preventing citizens from having their lives saved make it past the Supreme Court? If that was the case we could put do not recessitate orders on entire classes of people someone does not approve of. But the anti choice people will just try to tell you that it would not be that many women who would end up in this situation and die so its ok. The anti choice people have no problem killing a few women.
