COLUMBUS - A Cincinnati legislator's bill to ban abortion in Ohio drew widespread support here Wednesday from a dozen groups eager to trigger a review of Roe v. Wade by what they see as an increasingly conservative U.S. Supreme Court.

At a Statehouse news conference marking this week's 33rd anniversary of the landmark 1973 decision, opponents called on the Ohio General Assembly to debate a bill banning all abortions.

Introduced nine months ago by Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Mount Lookout, House Bill 228 would make it a felony to carry out abortions or transport a woman across state lines to have one. It would allow abortions only to save the life of a mother.

Nancy Keenan, president of Naral Pro-Choice America, warned that anti-abortion advocates "are using the states as laboratories" in their efforts to overturn Roe. Indiana, too, is considering a ban on abortions, and other states are adding restrictions to when abortions are allowed. Mark Harrington, executive director for the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform Midwest, called Brinkman's bill a test case. Anti-abortion groups say that a Supreme Court reshaped by President Bush - with new justices John Roberts and, expected soon, Samuel Alito - will be inclined to overturn Roe.

Outlaw sex, period.

Repuke fundies know it is nasty and only "do it" to make babies.

End of problem.


Idiots.

6. Yes, we could get inseminated

neat and clean with white coats and everything. Then we could get rid of most men, too.

7. just get rid of the PUKE males

NO problem with spotting them; they all look alike. Down to the hairpart.

12. We could capture them in toupee shops

8. If they outlaw abortions, women won't get pregnant anymore.

The same reasoning was used prior to R v W, and prohibition too.

9. Are Pregnant Women to be Banned from Planes, Buses and Trains in OH?

would make it a felony to carry out abortions or transport a woman across state lines to have one.

10. Civil war here we come.

I think they sadly underestimate what kind of crap people will put up with.
I predict massive rioting,demonstrating and national strikes if Roe v Wade is overturned.
