5:43Now PlayingLawmakers in Ohio have just passed extremely restrictive abortion legislation and now it's on to Governor John Kasich's desk. The new Ohio law will criminalize an abortion the moment a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks discuss.

"The Ohio House and Senate passed a bill that would essentially outlaw abortion by criminalizing it when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Given that this can be as early as six weeks into gestation, before most women even know they're pregnant, the "Heartbeat Bill" is essentially a complete ban on abortion with no exceptions other than to save the mother's life.
The provision was tacked on as a rider to an unrelated bill defining mandated reporting for medical professionals, and makes Ohio just the third state to pass a fetal heartbeat abortion ban. The other two, passed by Arkansas and North Dakota, were deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in January - and Ohio's ban might not even get that far.
With Ohio's legislative session winding down, the two chambers moved quickly to pass the bill. The state Senate passed it Tuesday morning, and it went to the full state House that night, passing there as well. Both votes essentially went down party lines."*
