In the wake of an Iowa judge striking down a bill that would greatly restrict abortions if a fetal heartbeat was detected, new Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine pledged to sign a so-called “heartbeat” bill in his state, adding that it would ultimately be up to the Supreme Court to decide on the legislation.

Known as one of the strictest laws passed in the nation regarding abortions, the Iowa law was deemed unconstitutional by Judge Michael Huppert on Jan. 22.
