Ohio Protects Unborn At 20 Weeks, But Heartbeat Bill Vetoed

Earlier today, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio signed into law protection for the unborn at 20 weeks.  This law has an exception for abortions that are necessary to save the mother’s life or prevent serious risk of substantial bodily impairment.  The law is based on the concern that unborn humans can feel pain at 20 weeks.  Ohio joins 15 other states that protect humans from abortion at the age of 20 weeks in the womb.  Kasich vetoed a bill designed to protect unborn humans once their heartbeat can be detected, between 4 weeks and 6 weeks.
