One of the provisions would compel providers to tell women that a fetus or embryo can feel pain.

....WHAT SCIENTIFIC GOD DAMN FUCKING REPORT SAID THAT!?

Can't believe this one:
• Eliminate "medical necessity" as a reason to waive the waiting period. Medical necessity had been defined as a medical condition that complicates the pregnancy so that it warrants an immediate abortion.
The use of the words "medical" and "necessity" in the same sentence should be a pretty big hint that someone might not be able to wait for an abortion. What are these people thinking?

SAVE THE UNBORN LIVES!

If this is enacted, Ohio will have to change their state motto to; The Ireland State.

I'd imagine it's something along the lines of "our idiotic voter base (not my opinion of every Republican, just how I'd imagine they think of them) don't like abortion. If we do this, they'll vote for us again!"
Nothing quite destroys your faith in government as watching it in action, I'm finding.
-
If I remember correctly, the last time they tried to pass something like that in another state (Was it Minnesota?), even their own party shot it down. I have a feeling that'll happen again if they keep pushing this crap.
-
Yes, but Ohio is well known for enacting idiocy other states would be ashamed of.

SAVE THE UNBORN LIVES!
Except they haven't really thought it through, have they? If a woman needs an abortion to save her life, then the fetus isn't going to live even if she dies. You'd think they'd be for an abortion in that case, so the woman can have more babies later. It's just completely bonkers.

DOESN'T MATTER! SAVE THE UNBORN!

I don't understand why conservatives never seem to press for a more obvious solution.
I mean, all these restrictions and invasive procedures and lectures are due to the fact that women just don't know a damn thing about being pregnant and need to have men dictate it to them. They just don't get that they shouldn't be having sex unless they intend to have a baby.
Since women are obviously so unfit for this job and require so much micro-managing, it seems like a more efficient solution would just be to find a way to get men pregnant. If child-bearing is really a woman's job, why do men always have to instruct them how to do it? After all, men already know what's best for a pregnancy, so abortions wouldn't even need to be legal. Men also know how to be responsible with sex and only engage in it when they want children.
So there you go. Make abortion illegal, and make men solely responsible for pregnancy, and I'm sure all those conservatives will be happy.

Ohio was one of the earliest states to give women the right to vote. They got it more than a decade before the Nineteenth Amendment passed.
It was also one of the biggest strongholds of the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad.
I'm not saying it's perfect (FAR from it), but Ohio isn't Kentucky or Alabama by a long shot.

Man, I would LOVE to see these asshole conservative men shitting themselves over carrying an unwanted pregnancy. I wish we had the technology for this. Then let them give birth through their ass and experience even more pain than women.

Well, the Democrats could push for a bill to direct funding toward finding a way to make that happen. While they're at it, they might as well add a rider to get funding to figure out a way to harness the power of people's heads exploding from the irony when the Republicans cry that the bill is wasting taxpayers' money.

My head is exploding at the irony of Republican pundits on Fox News howling about the NSA surveillance program right now. I don't think my head could take much more irony.
