Ohio Legislature Considering An Abortion Bill That Is More Restrictive Than The "Heartbeat Bill"

A new bill would ban most private insurance coverage for abortions. But opponents say it would also ban effective methods of birth control.

One fifth of the representatives in the House have signed on to a bill sponsored by Republican John Becker that would prohibit most insurance companies from offering coverage for abortion services.

“The intent is to save lives and reduce the cost of employers and employees health care insurance," Becker says.

The bill would ban nontherapeutic abortions that include "drugs or devices used to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum.”

And Becker says the bill also speaks to coverage of ectopic or tubal pregnancies where the fertilized egg attaches outside of the womb.

“Part of that treatment would be removing that embryo from the fallopian tube and reinserting it in the uterus so that is defined as not an abortion under this bill," Becker explains.

“That doesn’t exist in the realm of treatment for ectopic pregnancy. You can’t just re-implant. It’s not a medical thing," says Jaime Miracle, deputy director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.

She says, under this bill, women would have to wait until their very lives were in danger to get an abortion in the case of an ectopic pregnancy.

“This bill will have grave impacts on Ohio’s infant and maternal mortality rate," Miracle says.

And she says that’s not all. She says it will ban insurance from covering popular methods of birth control.

“Birth control pills, IUD’s and other methods of birth control like that – the bill states that any birth control that could act to stop a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus is considered an abortion under this bill," Miracle says.

Becker insists his bill does not target birth control.

“When you get into the contraception and abortifacients, that’s clearly not my area of expertise but I suppose, if it were true that what we typically known as the pill would be classified as an abortifacient, then I would imagine the drug manufacturers would reformulate it so it’s no longer an abortifacient and is strictly a contraceptive," Becker says.

This bill just had its first hearing in committee. If it goes further, supporters, opponents and medical professionals will testify for or against it.

Less than a month ago, Ohio lawmakers passed and Gov. Mike DeWine signed a law that bans abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy - at the point a fetal heartbeat can be detected. If this legislation goes through as written, it would go even further.

Garbage-rear end Ohio beat the South to it!

you quoted a post that said black women will suffer more than white women and said "stop peddling stereotypes" in response to it so uh the only one taking about magical avoidance of all hardship is you in that case. "x has more than y" != "x has everything and y has none at all"

The World Food Program (WFP) has assessed the damage from the Thursday attack, which caused no casualties, the U.N. agency's senior spokesperson, Herve Verhoosel, said in a statement. Verhoosel said the silos contained some 51,000 tons of grains, enough to feed 3.7 million people for a month. "It appears that two silos were hit, one of which contains wheat," he said. "There was no fire." Verhoosel told said the WFP was unaware who carried out the attack.

quote:

Of the more than 100 people eventually prosecuted, only two pleaded not guilty and took their cases to trial. They both lost. This was not unusual. At the federal level, 98 percent of cases end in plea deals, thanks to the enormous leverage prosecutors enjoy over defendants.
But a study released last month—three years after the initial raid—found something that may be more surprising. Despite the rhetoric of Bratton, Bharara, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, most of the prosecutions of the Bronx 120, as they became known, were for nonviolent crimes, and more than half of the defendants were never even alleged to be gang members at all. Dozens of the "worst of the worst" as they'd breathlessly been described by public officials, are already out of prison and trying to piece their lives back together.

The dude was a racist and an active participant in genocide, don't get me wrong, but he was also really into punishing the South. I think he might have enjoyed the idea of taking slaveowners' stuff and giving it away to former slaves, just as a way to stick it to those fancy rich Southern assholes.

Yeah, Sherman was more than happy to let free and formerly enslaved black people join him on his march which honestly was a lot more surgical and restrained in its approach than you'd think. It's not like he went around burning everyone's homes to the ground--he was focused on destroying the infrastructure. His march gets a bad rap for the same reason Grant gets tarred as a drunken* butcher of a general: we let the traitors help write the history books. In retrospect Sherman was probably right that the only way the South could have been reintegrated back into the Union without causing problems would have been to truly break their spirit first.

That said, I wouldn't let Sherman anywhere near a native American, because yeah big-time racist and genocider there. I mean yeah, that pretty much describes everyone back then but Sherman was extreme even for that.

*Grant did struggle with alcohol but he was the "doesn't drink for months and then goes all-out" kind, not the "six drinks a day" kind. And it never happened when he was on-the-job.

The best part is that the guy an in park announcer, so he's probably heard the anthem thousands of times, then chose to blame "severe dehydration" for why he couldn't remember. Seriously bet the guy was drunk as a skunk.
