This Legislation, Just Passed by the Ohio Senate, Will Protect Pain-Capable Babies from Abortion"Ohio is poised to make a real difference in how we promote and protect the dignity of every human life in our state." -Stephanie Ranade Krider, Ohio RTL.
Senate President Keith Faber The U.S. is one of seven countries, including North Korea and China, that allows abortions after 20 weeks. In November 2014, The Quinnipiac University Poll found that 60% of Americans would support prohibiting abortion after 20 weeks, while only 33% opposed such legislation. Women voters strongly support such a law by 59-35%, while independent voters supported it by 56-36%. As of 2011, abortions in Ohio are prohibited at 24 weeks or the point of viability, which must be tested for at 20 weeks gestation. Over the last month, Ohio Right to Life has collaborated with medical experts and pro-life advocates to present proponent testimony on its legislation. Before today's vote, Denise Leipold, executive director of Right to Life of Northeast Ohio, and Judy Bruns, past president of Mercer County Right to Life and board trustee of Teachers Saving Children, Inc., testified in favor of the bill. Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed similar legislation under Speaker John Boehner (R-OH). This month, the legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate, with U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) signing on as a co-sponsor. Support for the legislation has quickly become the new pro-life "litmus test" for Republican presidential contenders, all of whom have endorsed the bill.
