COLUMBUS (WCMH) – One day after Ohio lawmakers approved a bill that would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat could be detected, they are considering a second abortion bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

This second bill has to pass through the House and Senate, and then it will head to Governor John Kasich. Kasich already must decide whether to sign the bill that proposes banning abortions at six weeks, or the point at which a fetal heartbeat can be detected.

Pro-choice groups such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio are not happy about the abortion bills currently being considered, especially the “heartbeat bill.”

“It hurts mostly women who can’t travel, who are low-income,” said Iris Harvey, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio. “It’ll hurt women who have no other way to solve an unintended or problematic pregnancy.”

Some pro-life advocates, such as Ohio Right to Life, say they believe that the bill banning abortions at 20 weeks is a better strategy and an incremental approach. That law already exists in more than a dozen other states.

“[It] will protect babies the moment they can feel pain, at 20 weeks-that’s five months in the womb,” said Michael Gonidakis, the president of Ohio Right to Life.

According to Ohio Right to Life, polls show a majority of Ohioans support banning abortion past that point in a pregnancy.

But those who oppose these bills say it’s a deeply personal and emotional decision and not one in which the state should intervene.

33 years ago, Rabbi Jon Adland and his wife got troubling news from their doctor.

“We were into a wonderful pregnancy,” Adland, a rabbi in Canton, Ohio, said. “It was July of 1983, and we went in for a routine ultrasound only to discover that the fetus was gravely ill.”

The couple went to Indiana, where they had an abortion after it was determined that the fetus couldn’t survive outside of Adland’s wife’s womb. But pregnancies like theirs would be targeted under the bill seeking to ban abortions past 20 weeks.

“My wife would have had to have carried that pregnancy to when the baby eventually died,” Adland said.

While pro-choice groups oppose the “heartbeat bill,” they say the 20-week ban is inappropriate too, especially in cases of rape or incest.

“We can’t say that by 20 weeks, every victim would understand that they’re pregnant and be able to make a decision and all those kinds of things because she’s been through such a traumatic event in her life,” said Jaime Miracle, deputy director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.

Rabbi Adland said that having experienced this in his own family, he doesn’t want to see women not have the option to terminate their pregnancies.

“You don’t forget these things, and your wife certainly doesn’t forget these things,” Adland said.

The second bill has to get through House committee and the full House before going to the Senate. Then it’ll head to the governor.

In a statement, Emmalee Kalmbach, Governor Kasich’s press secretary, said, “A hallmark of lame duck is a flood of bills, including, bills inside of bills and we will closely examine everything we receive.”
