The Ohio House has once again passed a pro-life bill that would ban abortions after a baby's heartbeat is detected.
"This bill basically says if there is a heartbeat you cannot abort. If there is a heartbeat, there is life…there is no debating that," said Rep. Ron Hood, R-Ashville, according to Dayton Daily News.
On Nov. 15, the heartbeat bill passed the House 60-35. The bill will now head to the Ohio Senate before the legislative session ends in December.
If the bill becomes law, it would ban abortions at around six weeks, or once a baby's heart beat is detected. It does not make an exception for incest or rape.
