"  Rep. Ron Hood (not a woman!)\u2014and 34 of his Republican colleagues\u2014is behind the latest batch of abortion restrictions in Ohio, this time requiring women to wait 48 hours (and one ultrasound) to have an abortion, according to Cleveland.com.  So... are we telling women to wait to get abortions or to not have abortions too late? Make up your minds, GOP. Otherwise it&amp;#039;ll just make you look like you&amp;#039;re arbitrarily restricting women&amp;#039;s reproductive rights! Oh, wait. You don&amp;#039;t even know what the female reproductive system is. Great. Should this bill pass, it would: Require doctors to give women a verbal description of the ultrasound, including an audible heartbeat, if available. (The bill notes, however, that a woman can refuse to view ultrasound images or listen to the sounds detected by a fetal heart monitor.) Compel abortion providers to tell patients that fetuses and embryos can feel pain, and that a woman who has an abortion increases her risk of breast cancer.  Extend the waiting period for abortions to 48 hours instead of 24. Require doctors to tell patients seeking abortions in writing how much money they earn and how much income they would lose by not performing abortions.  The budget must be signed by Gov. John Kasich no later than June 30. Awesome. Follow Anna on Twitter. Image via Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
