Hot off prosecuting 11-year old rape victims, Ohio GOP following up with #HumanCentipedeBill

A new Ohio bill would ban most private insurance coverage for abortions. Opponents say it would also ban effective methods of birth control.

One-fifth of representatives in the House, all Republicans, have signed onto House Bill 182 sponsored by state Rep. John Becker (R-Union Twp.) that would prohibit most insurance companies from offering coverage for abortion services.

The bill would ban non-therapeutic abortions that include "drugs or devices used to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum.”

Becker says the bill also speaks to coverage of ectopic or tubal pregnancies where the fertilized egg attaches outside of the womb.

For those of you old enough to remember Robert A Heinlein 'Future History' stories, we are certainly in the 'Crazy Years'. Take a look at the above bill:

1. You can't get an insurance policy that covers any form of abortion, including saving the life of the mother.

2. It bans just about all forms of (female) birth-control. If course it doesn't say anything about anything that prevents fertilizing said egg.

3. But you get insurance for the relocation of a fertilized ovum that it ectopic or tubal to where it belongs. Of course the fact that there is NO medical procedure currently known to do this is irrelevant to these cretins.

What the Hell is this country coming to? And who wants to bet that is any of these sanctimonious idiots needed an abortion for their mistress or if their daughter was raped and got pregnant and the pregnancy turned out to be ectopic, they would be flying off to an expensive clinic where they could 'get it taken care of'?

This IS NOT the country I grew up in. I am NOT proud to be an American any more, I am ashamed of my country!

1. We need medical freedom now!

[get the red out]

2. I am sick of the Christian Taliban

They are doing EXACTLY what we criticize extremists for doing in predominantly Muslim countries.

I hate these people, and they have certainly made me ashamed of this country, and especially to live in a "red" state.

[Duppers]

11. Yes! EXACTLY.

Well said. Thank you, g.t.r.o.

[apnu]

3. "What the Hell is this country coming to?" Christians are cornered wounded animals

They know the demographics aren't on their side, they are dying out fast. So they're trying everything they can before they are wiped out in a generation or two. A cornered wounded animal is the most dangerous thing.

[KSNY]

13. And Jesus would want nothing to do with them

Venal, cruel, and insensitive to others. He would chase them out of the temple.

[Stonepounder]

16. I have to disagree with you, apnu.

These are NOT Christians in any way, shape, or form.

A "Christian" is someone who follows the teachings of Christ. These wackadoodle legislators, these hate mongers, these people who peddle the 'this is a Christian nation and all must follow', these anti anyone who is not their brand of 'christianity' should be expelled or killed, have absolutely no clue as to what Jesus taught!

They are anti-Christians, just as tRump has been referred to as the anti-Christ. They would be anathema to Jesus!

[Takket]

4. It is no coincidence many of these bills are coming out now

When Kavanaugh was put in SCOTUS the point was made that SCOTUS can’t just say “abortion is illegal now. Bang the gavel”. The law has to be challenged in court and brought to SCOTUS. So we were warned that in six to twelve months expect anti-choice states to start passing crazy shit to get Cases in front of SCOTUS so they can go after Roe.

Well now it is six months later and that chicken has come home to roost. A year from now SCOTUS will be voting on whether to strike down Roe and the freedom’s of every woman will be in the hands of Jon Roberts to determine if the vote is 5-4 or 4-5.

5. another state to boycott

[stillcool]

6. crazy-land..

I've about done myself in today...just reading a few stories on line. That's all it takes. If I turned on the tv I'd probably be in the psych-ward.

[roamer65]

7. Michigan will become a destination for a LOT of Ohio women.

[superpatriotman]

8. Ask the constituents

They put these loons in office for a reason.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. What, no ban on boner pills?

[trueblue2007]

14. of course not ..... THE PENIS, IS KING. All bow down to the Mighty Penis, Hallowed be thy name.

It makes me sick. This bill will kill women. Viagra is the greatest drug known to man.

What is going on in this backward state makes me cry. I am so depressed over this bill. The GOP's bills will kill women.

[Stonepounder]

17. Notice that they only talk about 'fertilized ovum'

So they don't even have to mention Viagra, or condoms. So men can get women pregnant or not as they choose, but women can't make that decision.

Nauseating!

[akraven]

10. Heinlein was my first thought.

It's all about power over women.

[Yavin4]

12. This is the kind of thing that will lead to conflicts between states

Probably not a full blown, violent Civil War, but a virtual one. Economic sanctions. Border patrols. Travel restrictions.

[Chipper Chat]

15. 1848. Country split over slavery.

2020. Country split over womens rights.

[Stonepounder]

18. Where can this old man go to be on the women's rights side of the fight? n/t
