Earlier this month, the House of Representatives voted to ban abortion after 20 weeks. Now, the GOP is officially aiming to ban abortions considerably earlier — at six weeks, before many women even realize they’re pregnant.

Back in January, the GOP introduced a bill banning abortion "in cases where a fetal heartbeat is detectable." Last night, news broke that next Wednesday, November 1, a judiciary committee will hold a hearing to discuss the bill, entitled H.R. 490: Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017. The proposed bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Steve King of Iowa, would make it a federal crime to knowingly perform abortions "without determining whether the fetus has a detectable heartbeat," "without informing the mother of the results," or "after determining that a fetus has a detectable heartbeat."

"Since Roe v. Wade was unconstitutionally decided in 1973, nearly 60 million innocent babies’ lives have been ended by the abortion industry, all with a rubber stamp by the federal government," King said in a press release in January. "If a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected."

The only exception to the bill is if a woman has a physical — but, notably, “not psychological or emotional" — condition or illness that makes the pregnancy life-threatening for her; otherwise, physicians who perform the procedure could face up to five years in prison, a fine, or both.

If all this sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because a similar bill in Ohio led to an uproar before Governor John Kasich vetoed it. The same could happen H.R. 490, which as Refinery29 highlights, likely won’t pass in the House and the Senate — but it’s clear that this is a battle that’s far from over.

In a statement emailed to Teen Vogue, NARAL Pro-Choice America senior vice president Sasha Bruce said, “the GOP’s crazy obsession with banning all abortions in this country knows no end, no boundary, and no common sense.

“Americans are clear: they want their elected officials addressing the crises our country faces instead of wasting time and taxpayer dollars attempting to ban abortion," Bruce said. "The majority of Americans stand on the side of abortion access, and seven in 10 Americans believe abortion should remain legal and accessible. That’s not just a majority, that’s consensus, and we will keep mobilizing and organizing to ensure that all women can make decisions about their lives, bodies, and futures.”
