The GOP just won’t accept that they lost. The voters spoke. Republicans should adhere to the will of the public.
What voters passed has a standard of fetal viability — whether life-giving care can be provided outside the womb. Medically, that falls somewhere around 24-26 weeks, depending on the pregnancy. A 15-week ban, proposed by Ohio Senate President Huffman, would be unconstitutional. https://t.co/i7LHCxuX5N
