The '''Heartbeat Bill''' is [[pro-life]] legislation originating in [[Ohio]], which would prohibit [[abortion]] once the heartbeat of the unborn child is detectable. A heartbeat develops in an unborn child typically in the fifth or sixth week of pregnancy. A federal version of the bill, H.R. 490, was introduced in Congress in 2017 by Rep. [[Steve King]], but blocked from a floor vote in the [[House of Representatives]]. A total of 173 congressmen have signed on as co-sponsors of the Heartbeat Bill, H.R. 490, as of July 27, 2018.<ref>https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/490/cosponsors</ref>
