Kasich wants to be president, but, he first has to make it through the primary.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that any state has to provide access to abortion. All this is about political jockeying and using taxpayer monies to further their ambition. It is a sickness in the GOP that sees the USA as a democracy they can turn into a theocracy. It is very sad.

FOX News and Talk Radio can't exist without this level of extremism. It is directly connected to Republican rhetoric. "If only we had all the votes we needed the USA would be ours to have."

"W"rong!

While Donald Trump (click here) once said he was “very pro-choice,” since the start of his presidential campaign his stance on abortion has been consistent: It should be banned, no matter the consequences to women. At times, he has even veered to the right of the mainstream anti-abortion movement, as when he said during a primary season town hall event that women who seek abortions should face “some form of punishment.” Most anti-abortion politicians profess to want to protect women, even when they pass laws that harm them.

Now legislators in one state want Mr. Trump’s cruel vision to become reality. Ohio lawmakers have proposed legislation to ban all abortions, period, with no exceptions for victims of rape or incest or to save a woman’s life.

Carrying to term a pregnancy against one’s will is punishment enough — in fact, it can amount to torture, according to the United Nations Human Rights Council. But the Ohio bill would not only cut off access to the procedure, it would also open the door to criminal charges against both abortion providers and women seeking the procedure.
