Ohio House bill to weaken ‘puppy mill’ provisions
Provisions
buried in catch-all agriculture legislation being considered by the
General Assembly would weaken Ohio’s “puppy mill” law that took
effect only 11 months ago, animal-advocacy groups say.
Huffington
Post
Republican
lawmakers in Ohio on Thursday advanced a bill that would ban abortion
as soon as the fetal heartbeat can be detected, as early as six weeks
into a pregnancy.
H.B.
248, the so-called
"Heartbeat bill," advanced
out of the House Health and Aging Committee by a party-line vote of
11 to 6. If it passes the Republican-controlled House and Senate,
doctors who perform abortions after the imposed limit would
face a fifth-degree felony.
Opponents warn the bill would ban abortions before some women even
realize they're pregnant.
