Ohio legislators expect a bill banning all abortions with no exceptions to get a brief hearing and then be put back in the drawer. 

As the Columbus Dispatch reports, even the Ohio Right to Life organization does not support the bill.  Does this mean that even fetus worshippers have some respect for the lives of women?  Umm, no.  This means that they recognize a tactical error when they see one ...

Ohio Right to Life is neutral on the bill being considered today.

Denise Mackura, director of government relations, said while at least 100 abortion-rights opponents are expected at the Statehouse to express their views, she?s concerned the bill would eliminate a number of critical state laws, such as a ban on partial-birth abortion.

While that might appear to make sense, if the court tosses out the bill, all the other laws might get tossed with it, she said.

Mackura is unconvinced that an abortion ban is the best way to get Roe v. Wade overturned. Rather, she expects it would come from a case challenging, for example, a law restricting abortion funding or parental notification.

Mackura said she would rather see Ohio pass an abortion ban that goes into effect if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. She also wants to take away state funding for abortions.

"It?s always useful to send a message to the court that people do think the law has gotten too extreme," she said.

So a bill that would allow women to die attracts 18 co-sponsors.  And it gets a hearing, albeit a brief hearing.  In a state were domestic violence laws no longer apply to unmarried women. 

Got that?
