Kasich to Torpedo Pro-Life Heartbeat and Stand Your Ground Legislation

[Swordsmyth]

Perennial mainstream media darling and establishment dreamboat Governor John Kasich revealed his latest betrayals to Ohio conservatives on Monday- and they’re both whoppers of the highest order.
Speaking to reporters at the Ohio Statehouse, Kasich confirmed that he would use his veto powers to override not one, but two major conservative policy victories, both of which are set to be passed by both chambers of the Ohio Legislature.
The first piece of legislation Kasich is poised to stop is a pro-life ‘Heartbeat Bill,’ that would prohibit abortions performed on babies with a medically discernible heartbeat in the state of Ohio. Although Kasich has (apparently falsely) billed himself as ‘pro-life,’ this would be the second time that’s he’s nuked legislation that could save “upwards of 10,000 lives a year (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-life-john-kasich-threatens-to-veto-newly-passed-ohio-heartbeat-bill),” according to Ohio Citizens for Community Values President Aaron Baer. Kasich earlier vetoed (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/veto-guarantees-more-heartbeats-will-stop) Heartbeat Legislation in 2016, explaining that he was simply unwilling to fight a battle on behalf of the pro-life cause against a corrupt judiciary.
Unfortunately, pro-lifers don’t seem to be the only conservatives Kasich is content to take for a ride as he pivots from his final months as Ohio governor to a potential 2020 Republican Presidential campaign challenging President Donald Trump.


Kasich also plans to veto a self-defense ‘Stand Your Ground’ bill, that would give Ohio residents to right to defend themselves appropriately if confronted with a realistic and serious threat to themselves. The legislation would remove language from Ohio’s laws mandating a “duty to retreat (https://www.dispatch.com/news/20181113/ohio-house-set-to-approve-stand-your-ground-bill)” in life-threatening situations.

However, Kasich’s obstruction may not be enough to permanently block these two bills from becoming law. Both passed the Ohio House of Representatives with veto-proof support, and Ohio Republicans have a 24-9 majority in the State Senate. Incoming Ohio Governor Mike DeWine also has signaled support for both policies, making Kasich’s vetoes seem like little more than a temporary irrelevance.

How is it that RINO's like Kaisch continue to get away with continual betrayals and never get called out for it. He is no different than McCain was, a RINO using the party simply as the best opportunity starting out to get elected.

If the party does not tar and feather him now, he will go on with his intention to run in the Republican primary in 2020 before running a 3rd party bid for the purpose of peeling off just enough votes to give the election to the Dems.

No dice. I do a lot of activism in Ohio, the republicans love kasich. I’ve had many a conversation, given them On the Record sheets, only to be told I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Same with Mike Kelly here in PA, every committee meeting I’ve gone to I’ve brought along his record sheets, they crumble them up and throw them into the trash.

It is too bad people tend abandon activism when their candidate loses as you make a good case why we should be active within the party with an effort to attain committee positions.

I’m still heavily involved but it’s a helluva headache. 1 call represents 100 so I and others in my groups have been calling the reps on bills of interest. What I’ve learned years ago was that if a rep gets called enough, they may floor vote in your favor, but they back door bargain with other reps to swing a vote to get bills passed.

If only we had a handful in every CD across the country, we “might” be able to have some level of success.
