Today, Ohio voted to allow abortions. This is exactly what the SC allowed each state to do, enact their state legislation to make their own abortion laws.
As for the future of Ohio and other stated, the terms of when abortion shall be allowed need to be determined. I live in Fl. so I do not get a vote in Ohio, but I hope all states (they won't) enact legislation that allows for abortion exceptions for rape or a no brainer for medical emergencies for mother or baby.
I also hope states determine (through scientific studies) when a fetus becomes a living creature who feels pain. If it 12 weeks or 15 weeks or whatever the number is, a abortion ban unless for medical emergencies. A rape victim has plenty of time within the 3 to 4 month window to abort the baby.
I hope everyone agrees, no state should allow late term abortions (exception medical emergency) after the 12 or 15 weeks and certainly not up to birth or like in Virginia and now Ohio it appears abortion after birth.

It is a good read. It appears Ohio just passed an abortion amendment that removes previous Ohio law of 20 weeks for abortion and also allows for abortion after birth. I pray this amendment is step one and parameters are set for late term abortions.
Pregnancy isn't viable until after 21 weeks (In most cases 25 weeks), so as we discussed earlier (And you agreed) if you have a baby that cannot survive on its own, then it needs to immediately be aborted. There is no reason to wait until the baby dies and the mother's blood becomes septic causing her to fight for her life.
Ohioans defeated this by almost a 20-point margin and it's b/c the GOP went too extreme asking for a 6-week ban without exceptions. Also, FYI a rape victim most likely is in denial, b/c of the trauma she's endured, until she starts showing and then it becomes real to her. So to say 12-15 weeks is plenty of time for a rape victim to decide is absurd.
The margin by which the GOP extremist agenda was defeated should be a "canary in the coal mine" for the GOP in 2024 b/c this is the horse the DNC will ride on to victory.
