Ohio Republican Lawmakers Propose Bill to Ban All Abortions
-----------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, Republican lawmakers in Ohio have proposed a
bill that would ban all abortions. The bill, HB 565, would also allow
prosecutors to pursue criminal charges, including murder charges,
against patients and abortion providers. In Ohio, murder is punishable
by the death penalty. Pro-choice advocates say the Ohio bill is part of
a campaign by "anti-choice extremists" aimed at forcing the Supreme
Court to reconsider its landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
