Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill into law Tuesday that will ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy in Ohio.
However, Kasich vetoed a bill that would have prohibited abortions at the first detectable fetal heartbeat – as early as six weeks.
Fox News reports Kasich, who identifies himself as pro-life, chose to sign the 20-week ban that is already similar to those 15 other states have enacted.
Plans are underway by national pro-life leaders to utilize the energy from Donald Trump’s win to push for new anti-abortion legislation in 2017. One such pro-life group, Americans United for Life (AUL), released a new report Tuesday that exposes hundreds of health and safety violations in abortion clinics across the nation.
