Ohio Abortion Bill: Let Women Die


Proposed Abortion Ban Would Make It a Felony to Drive A Woman Womb Out of the State - No Exceptions to Save A Woman's Womb's Life
If the radical women-hating lawmakers in Ohio have their way, the women of Ohio may want to move to South Dakota.

And Ohio women may want to start packing today - before their lawmakers make it a felony to take a womb out of the state.

Beacon Journal:

House Bill 228, as proposed by State Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Cincinnati, would criminalize all abortion -- whether to save the life of the woman or to end pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

Furthermore, it would make it a felony for anyone to take a woman across the state line to obtain an abortion elsewhere.

. . . Brinkman said, 'I'm 100 percent Pro Life.'

According to Kellie Copeland, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, "Most people don't know anything about it. The ban hasn't gotten a lot of press. . We not only have to show up at this hearing on June 13 to fight against this ban, but Ohio's pro-choice majority must show up at the ballot box on Nov. 7th to elect leaders who share our values."

"The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday in House hearing room 313."

If you are in the area, and you care about women's lives, you should try really hard to be there.

Cause "Pro Life" is a concept that does not include women's lives.
