Ohio HB 125, or the “heartbeat bill” could come to a floor vote as early as NEXT WEEK in the Ohio House of Representatives. This bill will make abortion illegal after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is before some women even know they are pregnant. This is the farthest reaching abortion restriction ever, and will be tied up in the courts for years, and funded by Ohio tax payers.
The Heartbeat Bill is supported by an organization called Faith2Action. This group states that their main goal is to completely ban abortion. Below is their press conference when the bill was introduced. Note the sick analogue with the heart balloons. Really?
Also note this really creepy call to actoin video they put out. Weird dude with the glasses is Speaker Batchelder.
On a positive note, Ohio legislators reintroduction of the Ohio Prevention First Act. This bill includes comprehensive sexual health education, the development of a teen pregnancy prevention state-wide taskforce, increases contraceptive access, and ensures rape victims’ access to emergency contraception in the ER.
Planned Parenthood Affiliates of Ohio and NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio participated in a press conference on the Ohio Prevention First Act. As more information about this bill is released I will follow up! This video features Representative Nickie Antonio, an amazing advocate from reproductive rights and LGBT rights.

I get so creeped out by those 3D ultrasound images. I don't care how much technology advances by the time I'm having a child, the grainy black and white image is fine by me.
