House Bill 413 would only allow abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected if the life of the woman is in danger, and the penalties for performing one would be either life imprisonment or death.
Republican lawmakers in Ohio are attempting to pass a bill that would legally recognize fetuses as people, leading abortion doctors to be liable for aggravated murder charges for terminating a pregnancy.
HB 413 contains language that demands doctors take"all possible steps" to save an embryo or fetus, including"attempting to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman's uterus."
