Kasich vetoes heartbeat abortion ban
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.”
