Ohio budget-"Line Item Veto!"

Crazy, wackjob, war on women BULLSHIT in Ohio budget.

1. Money to rape crisis centers (that sounds good) BUT the state will then gag rape crisis counselor from talking about abortion.

2. Defund Planned Parenthood

3. Forced ultrasound (which you have to pay for!)

4. Doctors forced to give speech about ultrasound with script

5. New requirement for transfer to local hospital

6. BUT bans public hospitals from such agreements

7. Redefined pregnancy and fetus. (Not kidding) Defines pregnancy as beginning EVEN BEFORE PLANTATION. Thereby making some contraception abortion.

All this on Rachel Maddow. And this is our BUDGET! Not a bill or anything-These we're added as amendments to our state budget which our right-wing, teabagger Governor WILL sign.

I'm sick.

Please email your reps in Ohio and the Governor.
