good grief, the six-week fetal heartbeat legislation apparently wasn’t enough for these asshats…
There are actually two #abortion bills being considered in #Ohio right now. https://t.co/YaKocZloNY

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Abortions would be banned after 20 weeks under a bill that Republican lawmakers hoped to pass Thursday and add to legislation already on its way to GOP Gov. John Kasich that would prohibit abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
The House Community and Family Advancement Committee voted Wednesday night to pass the 20-week ban, which now heads to the full House for consideration Thursday.
That follows House approval Tuesday night of the so-called heartbeat bill, clearing the way for what would be one of the nation’s most stringent abortion restrictions.
That legislation would prohibit most abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy after the first detectable heartbeat.
Kasich, an abortion-rights opponent, has previously voiced concerns about whether such a move would be constitutional. He has not said whether he plans to sign either measure.
