The Ohio House has approved a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks.
The House voted 64-29 Thursday night to pass the bill, which will be added to legislation already on its way to Republican Gov. John Kasich that would prohibit abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Kasich opposes abortion rights but hasn't said whether he plans to sign either measure.
Ohio's proposed 20-week ban would allow for abortion in some cases to protect a woman's life and health. The Republican-controlled House voted earlier to reject a Democratic proposal to add an exception for rape and incest to the bill
Similar 20-week bans are on the books in 17 states.
