If nothing else, I would hope that this bill would make more people realise that there is a little human being there:
An unborn child’s heartbeat can be detected as soon as 18 days after conception, and supporters of a bill slated to be unveiled in the Ohio Legislature Wednesday say that women should be prohibited from ending pregnancies beyond that milestone.
Of course, my husband proposed that instead of the heartbeat, unique DNA should be the factor considered . . .

Actually, even unique DNA is not sufficient, because of monozygotic twinning (ie. identical twins) and cloning (eventually, someone is bound to do it– God help us). What we really need is legislation that protects any “whole living member of the species Homo sapiens” or something along those lines.
