HB 125, more popularly known as “The Heartbeat Bill,” is a bill to modify Ohio law to require doctors to search for a fetal heartbeat and to ban abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detectable, unless there is a medical emergency that would put the woman at risk of death or “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.”
