in ohio he asks you to a
john casick
republican governor former fox news
host
former right wing nut job congressman
will sign a
budget bill
what does the budget bill have to do
with a woman's right to choose
an abortion well
in the last hours of debates
regarding the uh... budget
uh... anti choice provisions were added
by uh... amendment we've no hearing
no debate
no comment period
no chance for a lot makers to consider
the impact of this
legislation
buried within the budget bill so that
there could be as a little public
discussion as possible that
uh... i think uh... on that court it
probably failed insofar as there was a
lot of protests about this in ohio
via fax of the
ho hi all legislation which of course
was just a budget
is that right for rape crisis centers
will now operate under a state imposed a
gag order
if you are a rape counselor
and that you are dealing with a victim
of rape
you cannot tell a
and impregnated rape victim
that they can legally terminate their
pregnancies
additionally if you are in ohio
you will find that that uh... ohio's now
basically defined did
all planned parenthood clinics across
the state
you are also forced
if you are seeking a abortion
to undergo a state-mandated
completely medically unnecessarily
ultrasound
here in the air
the one minute
patient
does not want one
and even if the doctor doesn't recommend
one
this state
is forcing you now
to get a completely unnecessary
ultrasound
women will also have to pay
for that completely unnecessary
state-mandated
ultrasounds
doctors
will now also
be required to deliver a republican
written speech
two women seeking a legal abortions
whether or not the doctor believes
that anything in this speech is valid
necessary
or accurate
and in a wonderful two-step
the bill requires clinics that provide
abortion services
to have a transfer agreement with local
hospitals
in many instances there are no hospitals
locally available
however
that is our relevant because the bill
also
and de la should say the law and now
bans public hospitals from establishing
those agreements
and
finally
the words pregnancy and fetus have now
been redefined in of high or state law
making determination that a woman is
pregnant even before the fertilized egg
is implanted in the you've line
lining
which could very well mean that how you
do you devices
are uh...
our only goal
in ohio
and just in case you're wondering cases
has a line item veto authority
uh... which many state governors can
have we don't have that on the federal
level it's it's found unconstitutional
where he could have vetoed those
specific provisions in the budget
and uh... he chose not to
there's a wonderful photo
where he is surrounded by uh... five or
six all the white guys
cheering him on presumably
to a strip women of
their constitutional right
for access to abortion
so
that so i have for you
it remains to be seen what the fallout
from that will be but uh... hopefully
uh... ii
people in ohio are aware that is taking
place
