"Earlier this month, the House of Representatives voted to ban abortion after 20 weeks. Now, the GOP is officially aiming to ban abortions considerably earlier — at six weeks, before many women even realize they’re pregnant.
Back in January, the GOP introduced a bill banning abortion "in cases where a fetal heartbeat is detectable." Last night, news broke that next Wednesday, November 1, a judiciary committee will hold a hearing to discuss the bill, entitled H.R. 490: Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017. The proposed bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Steve King of Iowa, would make it a federal crime to knowingly perform abortions "without determining whether the fetus has a detectable heartbeat," "without informing the mother of the results," or "after determining that a fetus has a detectable heartbeat."
