April 11 (UPI) -- Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the state's so-called "heartbeat" abortion bill, enshrining into law one of the country's most restrictive abortion bans.
The law outlaws abortions after doctors are able to detect a fetal heartbeat, in effect banning the procedure after the sixth week of pregnancy. The only exceptions will be if the woman's life is in danger, but not in cases of rape or incest.
