If my pet theory is correct, then very possibly: Ohio legislators will be unveiling today the Heartbeat Bill, which would ban abortions where a fetal heartbeat can be detected (H/T: Weasel Zippers). This would effectively put the cap on abortions in Ohio at being absolutely no later than six weeks, and quite possibly earlier: pro-choice agitators are already simultaneously claiming that the proposed law is intolerably restrictive and that almost nobody in Ohio needs later term abortions anyway. That these claims are at least potentially contradictory to each other is… pretty much standard for pro-choicers, actually.
At any rate, this bill has a decent chance of passing. Ohio abruptly flipped over to full Republican control of the state government last November, with the GOP taking control of the General Assembly and the governorship (we already had the state Senate): the sponsor of the Heartbeat Bill (state representative Lynn Wachtmann) has 40 (out of 99) of her fellow-representatives already signed on. And, of course, Governor Kasich is pro-life. But it’s a very serious and meaningful piece of pro-life legislation; which means that there’s going to be significant push-back on it. The question is, does Live Action have something to push back on the push-back?

I believe your theory was and is correct....

Actually, the heart begins beating by 18 days after conception...

Still, the technology has improved enough that in most cases, the baby’s heartbeat can be detected weeks before the 6-week mark.

I'm in Ohio - I know this bill is coming - and it will need help
jerry39 (Diary) Friday, February 11th at 11:48AM EDT (link)This bill is the one to pass in Ohio. I haven’t read all the details to say for sure, but I have known this bill is coming and I believe the theory behind it can be the most devasting blow to Roe yet. But here as everywhere, pro-lifers are divided and I know there is also a competing bill that has been introduced which is a toe the line work within Roe’s paramaters to end a few late term abortions. A good bill, becuase we allow late term abortions here in Ohio – but the heatbeat bill is truly exiting. I am praying internal right to life politics dont mess this up. If your in Ohio – make it clear this is the one you want.
Planned Parenthood's Orwellian Language Against the HeartBeat Bill
Ausonius (Diary) Friday, February 11th at 11:58AM EDT (link)On Columbus news a few days ago a local Planned Parenthood official said that the bill “was an attack on families” and on “a woman’s freedom.”
Exactly how a bill that helps to ensure the creation of families is somehow an “attack on families” was never explained.
And I suppose the right to murder does inhibit one definition of freedom!

Personal Tutor to the future St. Paulinus of Nola and to young Gratian, heir to the throne during the turbulent final years of the Western Roman Empire.
