Ohio lawmakers push abortion restrictions, gun rights expansion
By Andrew Welsh-Huggins - Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Republican lawmakers have sent bills to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine that would increase abortion restrictions, expand gun rights and ban the execution of the severely mentally ill.
The measures come as the House and Senate wrap up business during the lame duck session before a new General Assembly takes office in January.
On Friday, there appeared to be some movement at the Statehouse on a resolution to the law at the center of a $60 million bribery probe. Two GOP lawmakers used a legislative procedure to try to shift the Legislature to separate repeal efforts following months of infighting within the caucus on the fate of the now-tainted legislation.
