Local representatives praise ban on abortion funding in Ohio "Obamacare"

COLUMBUS, OH (FOX19) - Two state representatives from the eastern part of the Tri-State are happy that abortions won't be covered as part of federally mandated health care in Ohio.  Here's a release from State Representatives Danny Bubp and Joe Uecker:

“With the governor’s signature, House Bill 79 ensures that the taxpayers’ money will not be used for abortion services,” stated Bubp.
