Ohio Senate Passes Bill to Make Abortion Illegal in Cases of Down Syndrome
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the Ohio Senate has passed a new bill that would make it illegal for
women to have an abortion in cases where the fetus has Down syndrome.
The legislation would make it a felony for doctors to perform abortions
after tests reveal the fetus has the genetic condition. The bill is now
headed to the desk of Ohio Governor John Kasich.
