Lawmakers in Ohio have passed a "Heartbeat Bill" that will ban abortions after the heartbeat can be detected, which is usually in the first 6 weeks of a pregnancy. The bill won't allow abortions in cases of rape or incest. Former republican presidential candidate, John Kasich, has 10 days to decide if he wants to pass or veto the bill. If he signs the bill then, it will be put into action early next year. And if he doesn't do anything to the bill, it will automatically pass. The bill has created a lot of controversy, and if it were to pass, a court battle could occur. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has already said that they will press for court case. The bill was sent to the House of Representatives, and state reps approved it 56-39. Now we just have to vote for Kasich to sign it. I personally think that he will sign it, but I also thought Hillary was going to win the presidential election. Who knows what will happen.
