Lawmakers Propose Bill to Ban All Abortions in Ohio, Going Beyond Texas Law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The proposed legislation would ban abortion at any stage of pregnancy -- from the moment of conception, and regardless of whether a heartbeat is present -- going further than the Texas Heartbeat Act, also known as Senate Bill 8, signed in May.
50% : Lawmakers designed the bill to have a similar mechanism of enforcement as the Texas Heartbeat Act, by empowering "any person" -- except state or local officials or employees, or the person impregnated the woman involved against her will -- to bring civil action against a person who performs or induces an abortion, or knowingly aided in the process.
47% : Abortion kills children, scars families, and harms women," Powell, 27, said in a statement, reported multiple outlets.
44% : "Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no person shall purposely perform or attempt to perform an abortion," reads the text of the bill, which defines abortion as actions that seek "to terminate the pregnancy of a woman, with knowledge that the termination by any of those means will, with reasonable likelihood, cause the death of the unborn child."
36% : "My generation will be the one to outlaw abortion," Hall, 26, said in a statement.
