I am pro-life, but this bill does not make any sense.
In US about 90% parents opt for abortion when they find out the baby has Downs syndrome, so clearly the option is used by liberals and conservatives alike. Neither side claim the moral high ground. Now the government will force them to have the Downs baby, while allowing the abortions of perfectly healthy babies.
If anyone doubted the cruelty of liberals, just reread this thread.
The cruelty of the gop is forcing women to birth children they know they won’t be able to take care of properly while taking away funding for people with disabilities.
It breaks my heart when I see this 70 year old petite woman in my neighborhood push around her 40 year old son with Down syndrome. She can barely take care of herself at her current age yet has to take care of her child for the rest of her and his life. What happens when she is gone? Who will take care of her son like she does? The city? Yea right
I am pro-life but this will never withstand a Constitutional challenge. The RvW decision does not state that you have a right to abortion unless.........
That said, these tests are not perfect. I have to imagine that this accounts for very few abortions but it opens other questions.
One side is absolutely correct in condemning Kasich and the GOP for not giving a care after the child is born. It's a very fair point. I am pro-life but I am also very supportive of providing programs to assist families the rest of their lives also.
On the other hand, do we acknowledge that a woman who obviously wanted a pregnancy is left with the thought that she may have ended the life of her perfectly viable fetus? Do we understand she may have real issues to deal with? Or do we sweep that under the rug?

Hahah your team wont even let a baker decide who to bake a cake for.
The govt should have no say on abortion either way.
Ohio is prohibiting doctors from performing abortions based on a diagnosis of Down syndrome, joining other states with similarly strict legislation.
Republican Gov. John Kasich signed the legislation into law on Friday. Lawmakers had sent the bill to him earlier this month, in one of their last acts of the year.
I'm sure the state will also provide financial resources to support these families as these babies turn 30, 40, 50 and their parents die off, right?
No, they won't and this is but one reason why I never would have voted for Kasich.

A true 'liberal' was never in love with Kasich - although he did at least appear sane against the backdrop of the likes of Little Marco, Lyin Ted, and tiny hands Trump.
