 Official Women's March Cleveland Anniversary: Jan 19, 2019.

By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor-in-chief

CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-Cleveland, Ohio- Ohio lawmakers seeking to override Gov. John Kasich's veto of  
House Bill 258, a bill passed by the Ohio House and Senate that would have banned an abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, failed on Thursday.  

Depending on the method utilized for detection, a fetal heartbeat can occur as early as six weeks of pregnancy.

A three-fifths vote by both of the Republican controlled chambers, where the Senate has a super majority, was needed to override the veto.

The Ohio House did override the governor's veto, 60-28, but the Ohio Senate fail short by 20 votes at 19-14.

Abortion advocates, led by NARAL Pro- Choice Ohio and Planned Parenthood of Ohio as part of coalition titled Freedom of Choice Ohio, protested at the statehouse in Columbus before the vote on Thursday as to the heartbeat bill and abortion bans in general.

They chanted "stop the bans."

"Today, anti-reproductive freedom legislators attempted to override Governor Kasich's veto of the six-week abortion ban and failed to receive the votes in the Ohio Senate because the people of Ohio continue to show up and speak their truths," said Rhiannon Childs, field manager for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio and executive director of Women's March Ohio. "And we will continue to show up, including on January 19 for the Women's March anniversary across Ohio and elsewhere to make history again, and to let them know the Women's Wave is coming."

Another bill that severely restricts abortion, 
Senate Bill 145, which bans dilation and evacuation abortions, commonly known as D & E abortions, became state law last week after Kasich signed the bill, and thus was not up for a possible veto override.

A Republican and a 2016 presidential candidate, Kasich said he vetoed the heartbeat bill because it is  “clearly contrary to Supreme Court rulings."


Those rulings permit abortions until a viable fetus develops, usually at 24 weeks of pregnancy.


The upcoming anniversary of the Women's March, which was initiated in 2017 following the inauguration of President Donald Trump, is Jan 19, 2019 across the country and the globe, and women and their supporters are urged to attend, not only due to the unconstitutional attack on abortion rights nationwide, but relative women's issues across the board. 

Childs, who is Black, and educated, has been the executive director of Women's March Ohio since its onset in 2017, said there are women's marches on Jan 19, 2019 in seven cities across the state of Ohio, including in Cleveland, Akron, Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati.

Ohio Attorney General and governor-elect Mike DeWine, also a Republican like the term-limited Kasich, says he would sign such type of heartbeat bill that Kasich twice vetoed into law if and when it comes before him.

Whether an Ohio law banning abortion that is contrary to Supreme Court rulings will pass constitutional muster remains to be seen.
