Ohio makes me cry, oh

What the heck is going on in Ohio? The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the Ohio state house will hold a hearing tomorrow on a bill that would outlaw abortion completely. That's right. No exception for rape, incest, or the health of the mother.

But that's not the worst part.

The bill, H.B. 228, would make it a felony to transport a woman across state lines to obtain an abortion. Not a minor. Not a child who isn't yours. An adult woman.

Clearly this is in direct conflict with Roe v. Wade. Gotta think this is meant to be a court challenge. In any case, it's way bad. Boo to you, Buckeye State.
