Ohio Representative Speaks Out Against “Heartbeat” Bill

A state senator argues that a lawmaker who purposefully passes unconstitutional law is breaking his or her oath of office.

Somehow, the Ohio “Heartbeat Bill,” a ban on abortions so early that many women would not even know they were pregnant, managed to make it out of committee despite the obvious constitutional issues the law would create. Watch Democratic Rep. Dan Ramos accuse legislators of breaking their oath of office by voting the bill out of committee.

“We all put our hand on the bible and swore we would uphold the constitution,” he reminds fellow legislators.
