Ohio Republicans plot to thwart voters who backed 'immoral and evil' abortion rights [View all]
Voters in Ohio earlier this year overwhelmingly backed an amendment to enshrine abortion rights in their state's constitution, but Republicans in the state are plotting to thwart their wishes.
News 5 Cleveland reports that some Republicans in the Ohio state legislature are now going all-in on backing a total abortion ban that would only have exceptions to save a woman's life but not for women who were impregnated due to rape or incest.
At the center of the effort is anti-abortion advocate Austin Beigel, who is working with several anti-abortion Republicans on crafting the ban.
While talking with reporters, Beigel acknowledged that this bill would contradict the will of the voters but said that didn't matter because voters made an "immoral" choice last month.
