Kasich vetoes heartbeat abortion ban

Posted by | December 13, 2016 20:23 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Ohio Governor John Kasich vetoed a bill that would have outlawed abortion after six weeks, in favor of a 20 week ban, which is bad enough.

…Kasich signed a 20-week abortion ban into law on Tuesday but vetoed stricter legislation that would have forbidden the procedure once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, as early as six weeks after conception.

Kasich, an abortion opponent, said in a statement that the proposed six-week legislation would be contrary to U.S. Supreme Court rulings on abortion, opening the state to potentially costly legal battles, and the veto was “in the public interest.”

      I really think Sam inherited Jon Stewart’s mantle, not Noah what’s-his-face…

        I still think Noah is pretty good, it’s not a crime to not come up to Jon’s standards. But Sam is fabulous. She’s mostly right on the mark, which is just as much her writers as it is her.

          I wasn’t dissing Noah; I just think Sam got the torch, Noah got the show.

    the fact that he doesn’t care if the mother’s life is at stake even after 20 weeks, which would make an abortion illegal, i’d say NO. he’s not a viable candidate. and there’s also no exception to rape or incest. he’s disgusting.

      whatthe 46, I think I read, that you can get an abortion after 20 weeks, if the woman life is endangered, but you are right, no abortion in the instance of rape or incest, which is a damn shame.

        you’re right. and that is a shame. because if his wife or daughter were to be raped and became pregnant, he’d abort it himself. self righteous hypocritical asses.
