Ohio governor signs strict anti-abortion law. Not a woman in sight.

Flanked by a group of other male officials, Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) signed a contentious two-year budget bill into law on Sunday evening. The governor vetoed 22 amendments to HB 59 before approving it, but he left intact several provisions that will severely limit women’s reproductive access.
The new budget, which takes effect on Monday, includes at least five new anti-abortion provisions. HB 59 will defund Planned Parenthood clinics, reallocate family planning funding to right-wing “crisis pregnancy centers,” strip funding from rape crisis centers that give their clients any information about abortion services, impose harsh restrictions on abortion clinics that will force many of them to shut down, and require doctors to give women seeking abortion information about the presence of a “fetal heartbeat.”
Taken together, the budget amendments ensure that Ohio now has some of the most stringent abortion laws in the nation.
In a press release, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards blasted Kasich’s decision to approve HB 59′s abortion-related amendments. “Like Governor Perry in Texas, politicians in Ohio knew they couldn’t pass these unpopular measures if they played by the rules — that’s why they tried to bury these provisions in the pages of a must-pass state budget,” Richards pointed out in a statement, referring to the legislators in Texas who continue attempting to push through abortion restrictions during a special session. “If they thought no one was looking, Ohioans proved they were wrong. Texas lit a fuse.”

Meanwhile, today nutcase Republican Virginia Foxx was dismayed at why the Republicans couldn't recruit women.

I'm talking about what really matters, the state government. It's nearly bankrupt due to the efforts of your beloved Democrat Party. Nice job! LOL!

Wow, we have quite a nice budget surplus right now - DUE TO THE EFFORTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

You might want to try real news instead of fantasy. Just a suggestion.

And back on topic - this pic of Ohio - over and over again we see repubs acting against women's interests; and it's always a group of white men doing it (maybe the rare latino or black american gets in - but they're rare).

As I said, repubs can't buy a clue....
 
The other thing all these dumb fuck governors are doing is creating millions in legal fees for the court cases that are going to come from each and every one of them. Challenges in state courts and then at every level of the federal court system. The laws that severely limit abortions after 20 weeks are going to be struck down. Good thinking Forced Birthers.

They are all duly elected representatives of their population.

Actually, that was members of Kasich's staff. None were elected.

The six men standing behind Kasich include the four Republicans on the six-member Ohio budget conference committee, the state budget director and the Senate president.

Hope they don't get re-elected.

hopefully he's not being influenced by you - you know, getting news from fantasy sources instead of real news sites.

I assume it's just an honest mistake.

This law ain't just hating abortion.. it's hating women.

With the passage of Ohio's new state budget, women in that state have lost access to low-cost family planning services, access to public hospitals during a health emergency and their right to privacy.

need a low-cost pap smear or mammogram?* then move.. because you ain't getting any in Ohio.

Another measure of the budget puts Planned Parenthood last on the list of family-planning dollars, which essentially cuts off $1.4 million in federal funding, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Per WLWT.com, "Opponents of the new abortion restriction said that three clinics in Ohio would likely close now that the measure is implemented."

raped and need advice? you won't get any in Ohio..

Rape crisis clinics are also in jeopardy, thanks to passage of the new budget. If these clinics are caught counseling sexual assault victims about abortion, they could lose their public funding, Reuters reported.

but the scariest part of all? if you do somehow find a way to have an legal,medical procedure known as an abortion and something goes wrong or there is some kind of medical emergency? too bad hooker, you can just die while looking in the phone book for a private hospital to service your slut-self..because you're not fucking allowed to use a public hospital anymore!

And if a woman is able to obtain an abortion in Ohio and develops some sort of medical issue during the procedure, clinics will no longer be allowed to transfer these patients to public hospitals for additional care. In the midst of a crisis, these patients must find a private hospital to help them.

I mean, wow!* women in medical crisis, unable to use public hospitals? forced, by law to find a private hospital, ya know.. the ones that are allowed to deny you care if you have no insurance..

while a woman is bleeding out or getting septic? she's got to call around to find someone to treat her now if she lives in Ohio? AND OBAMA'S THE 'DEATH PANEL' TYRANT?

This I do not have a problem with, nor do I necessarily object to defunding Planned Parenthood. In my mind, being pro-choice means women should have access to all available information. As for government funding of abortion or organizations that provide abortion, I oppose it. I'm 100% pro-choice (for the first trimester, at least), but I don't think taxpayer dollars should fund an activity as controversial as abortion. Let the 'pubs have their way on that issue and progress will come easier. Just imagine how much more cleanly we could have passed the ACA had abortion funding never been in the equation. Hell, Dems probably could have bundled a public option with a complete defunding of PP and it may have had a shot.
