Imagine that every single time that you go to the OB/GYN doctor that a Republican politician is in the examining room with you. That is disgusting to even imagine it! Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio Republicans have inserted themselves into that exam room. Your privacy is gone! Your right to a decision is gone! Your health needs don't matter because Kasich and his buddies are deciding what happens inside your uterus.
WKRC-TV is reporting that Kasich will sign the bill that bans abortion if the reason is a Down Syndrome diagnosis for the fetus.
Here is more about the abortion legislation- Cleveland.com:
...This bill would ban doctors from assisting women in exercising fundamental rights over their bodies, all without any assurance women and families will receive needed support once the baby is born.
Republican lawmakers refused changes helping families transition to the lifestyle of raising a child with Down syndrome. One amendment called for 12 weeks of parental leave after the birth of a child. Not only would this allow for parents of babies with Down syndrome time to adjust, but it would allow all new parents to bond with their babies in those precious first moments.
Republican lawmakers also rejected amendments for education funding and Medicaid eligibility for women and babies confronting Down syndrome. If HB 135's intent is to help and strengthen families, why reject these common-sense amendments?....
These Republicans and Kasich just want to punish women and deny them any rights.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich
told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" that he would sign a bill
currently being debated in his state banning abortion if the reason for
the procedure is because the child would have Down syndrome.
"I would sign it, yes," Kasich said. "Look, I'm a governor. I'm a CEO. I
have to have a hand steady on the wheel. But in this case, I'm more
than glad to say that of course I would sign that."
Kasich, who opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to
preserve the life of the mother, previously had not commented on the
bill, saying he didn't want to express his opinion while it was being
debated in Ohio's statehouse.
