Governor
Kasich deserves a lot of credit, along with Speaker Batchelder and Senate
President Keith Faber and other members of the Ohio General Assembly who
enacted 5 historical pro-life provisions in the 130th General Assembly Biennium
Budget.
OCA
President Chris Long made the following statement, "We commend Governor
Kasich and members of the Ohio General Assembly for their leadership and
initiative to enact these pro-life provisions. OCA has been surveying
candidates for over two decades as to their position on the life issue. We
specifically survey regarding the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and we are
pleased to see meaningful legislation enacted that will restrict funding to the
nation's number one abortion provider - Planned Parenthood.
The
ultrasound provision along with the new health regulations for abortion clinics
will go a long way to saving unborn innocent life in Ohio. Studies have shown
that when women hear the heartbeat of their unborn child, they are more likely
to carry the baby to term. Let us pray that these provisions have a strong
impact to protect innocent human unborn life."
Here
are the 5 pro-life provisions in the State of Ohio 2013 Biennium Budget:
1. Defunding of Planned Parenthood. (OCA has surveyed candidates for years on the
defunding of Planned Parenthood)
2. New funding for crisis pregnancy centers. (Ohio Parenting and Pregnancy Support
Act)
3. Additional safety regulations for abortion facilities.
4. Public hospital ban on transfer agreements with abortion facilities.
5.
Heartbeat informed consent requirement. Requires that all women must have an
ultrasound detecting the unborn baby’s heartbeat.
