On CNN politics, I read an article titled "Ohio governor bans abortions after 20 weeks while vetoing 'heartbeat' bill". John Kasich has vetoed the heartbeat bill which bans abortions after six weeks. While doing this, he also approved a law that doesn't allow abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. While pro- Choice advocates saw this as "troubling", many pro life advocates saw this as a step closer to challenging Roe vs. Wade. The current law states that there shall be no abortions of what the statute calls viable fetuses (fetuses that can survive outside the womb). However in 90 days there will be no viability tests therefore after 20 weeks of pregnancy, under any circumstances, abortion will not be allowed. If given, the doctor responsible would be charged with a 4th degree felony. Many states have limitations on abortions and Trump plans to challenge Roe vs Wade in the future.
