OPPOSITION.
ACLU OHIO IS PREPARING A
CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE.
AS OHIO RISES TO THE TOP OF THE
ANTI-ABORTION BATTLE.
SENSING THE MOMENTUM OF THE
MOMENT, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES SHOWED THEIR
APPRECIATION AS GOVERNOR MIKE
DEWINE ARRIVED.
BY SIGNING THE HEARTBEAT BILL
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON, HE MADE
OHIO THE SIXTH STATE TO ADOPT
SUCH A LAW
ARGUABLY THE NATION’S MOST
RESTRICTIVE.
IT MAKES ABORTION ILLEGAL IN
OHIO ONCE A FETAL HEARTBEAT IS
DETECTED.
IT MAKES NO EXCEPTION FOR RAPE
OR INCEST.
FORMER ARKANSAS GOVERNOR MIKE
HUCKABEE PRAISED DEWINE.
AND SLAMMED PLANNED PARENTHOOD
FOR EXPLOITING VULNERABLE WOMEN
FOR PROFIT.
SPEAKING AT THE QUEEN CITY CLUB
ABOUT THAT.
>> WHAT I LOVE ABOUT PLACES LIKE
THE PREGNANCY CENTER EAST HERE
IN CINCINNATI IS THAT IT IS THE
OPPOSITE.
THEY TAKE NO MONEY FROM THE
WOMEN.
THEY’RE NOT MAKING MONEY OFF OF
THEM AND THEY’RE TRYING TO HELP
THEM SORT THROUGH THESE
SITUATIONS.
NOT PUSH THEM INTO AN ABORTION
SO THEY CAN COLLECT SIX-HUNDRED
BUCKS OFF OF ’EM.
JOHN: PLANNED PARENTHOOD, FACING
ARGUABLY ITS MOST DIFFICULT
CHALLENGE, SAYS POLITICIANS NEED
TO BUTT OUT.
>> AND SO NO MATTER WHAT, WE ARE
GOING TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY
WITH THE WOMEN AND THE PEOPLE
WHO ACCESS ABORTION AND WE’RE
GOING TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY
WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT
COMES THROUGH OUR DOORS TO
ENSURE THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO
GET THE CARE THAT THEY NEED.
JOHN: DEWINE MINCES NO WORDS
ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF THIS
BILL.
THE POSSIBILITY OF A BASIS FOR
OVERTURNING ROE V WADE.
>> SO, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS
IS AND THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE A
DECISION.
>> I DO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL SEE
A DAY IN OUR COUNTRY WHEN IT
WILL BE OVERTURNED.
AND WOULDN’T THAT BE WONDERFUL
IF OHIO HEARTBEAT’S BILL WAS THE
LAW THAT WAS FOUGHT TO BRING IT
TO THE SUPREME COURT TO MAKE
THAT HAPPEN.
JOHN: ASKED IF OHIO MIGHT SEE
DISINVESTMENT IN THE STATE
BECAUSE OF THE HEARTBEAT BILL.
DEWINE ANSWERED I DON’T THINK IT
WILL.
ABORTION PROVIDERS IN OHIO SENT
WORD BUSINESS AS USUAL
ALTHOUGH THAT NOW INVOLVES A
LEGAL TEAM IN IT’S OWN FIGHT FOR
SURVIVAL.
