Ohio Legislators consider guns, abortion, HB 6 repeal and health department powers

More guns. Fewer abortions. Delaying a nuclear bailout repeal and weakening the health department.

With one official legislative day remaining in Ohio’s 133rd General Assembly, Ohio lawmakers have by and large narrowed their focus to these policy objectives.

Ohio Capital Journal staff broke down some of the most significant pieces of legislation in play in the last breath of the legislative session.

It’s like Republicans have this knack for enacting the exact opposite policies that Ohio really needs and that actually help people. Weakening the health department during a deadly pandemic?

Why is their focus ALWAYS on abortion. Guns, too. Like there isn’t a deathly pandemic going on, serious job losses, and more Ohioans falling into poverty. I hate Rethugs with every fiber of my being. I hope we can get rid of a lot of them when we re-draw the district maps.

When they gained majorities in states, it was "Abortion! Abortion! Abortion!"

Nationwide, the GOP passed 1,000 anti-abortion bills during the first month.

And never any jobs bills.

All those creepy old men just love to stick it to us uppity women who got the crazy idea we have rights or something.

But .... seriously .... weakening the Health Dept. during a deadly pandemic? ‘Splain that one to me, Lucy.
