Woman Behind Ohio Heartbeat Abortion Ban Gets Disinvited From Bill Signing

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — One of the nation’s fiercest advocates for banning abortions at the first detectable heartbeat was missing when Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill into Ohio law.

Legislative leaders, bill sponsors, pastors, pregnancy center operators and members of Ohio Right to Life — the state’s leading anti-abortion group — attended Thursday’s bill signing.

Absent was anti-abortion activist Janet Folger Porter, founder and president of Faith2Action, the group she used to originate and champion the heartbeat legislation for a decade.

“Being disinvited to the bill signing by the governor, it stung. But I’m keeping my eye on the big picture,” Porter said. “And the whole point of the last 10 years of my life was to bring the killing to an end.”

They want to feel heroic about saving zygotes. That way they don't have to get their hands dirty. Mostly they are mad because someone had sex.
