COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- The Ohio General Assembly approved a bill late Tuesday that would all-but-outlaw abortion in the state, sending it to Gov. John Kasich for a signature.
The state House approved the so-called "heartbeat bill" after it was added to another health bill by the state's Senate. If signed by Kasich, the law would make it illegal to perform an abortion once a fetal heartbeat has been detected -- about six weeks after conception.
