Ohio Lawmaker Admits Doing No Research on Insane Ectopic Pregnancy Bill

Last month, two dozen Ohio Republican legislators sponsored a bill, HB 413, that would take “all possible steps to preserve the life of the unborn child” including taking a (potentially fatal) ectopic pregnancy and re-implanting it into the woman’s uterus.
Re-implanting an ectopic pregnancy, of course, isn’t a thing that doctors do. An ectopic pregnancy isn’t viable. It’s deadly. Anyone who bothered to research the subject would’ve known that, but Republicans didn’t research this because it was never about doing what’s best for women. It was about punishing them for having sex. As usual.
