Steven Arndt (born April 28,1954) is a former Republican representative for the 89th district of the Ohio House of Representatives. Arndt has run for various public offices since the 1970s. [1] When Steve Kraus was convicted of a felony and forced to resign from office,Arndt was selected by the Ohio House Republican Caucus to replace him. He took office on September 30,2015. [2] Subsequently,Arndt was reelected in 2016. [3]
One of Arndt's first votes in the state legislature was on HB 294,which aimed to defund Planned Parenthood. He voted in favor of the bill,as did nearly every Republican in the chamber. [4] In response to the vote,Minority Leader Fred Strahorn said,"Planned Parenthood provides low-cost preventative care to tens of thousands of women in Ohio. Defunding these effective and cost-efficient programs will put women and families in our underserved communities at risk." [5]
Arndt voted in favor of "legislation to ban local hiring standards and restrict project labor agreements (PLAs) for public works projects." [6] Debate around the issue at the time focused on the likelihood that the legislation would push jobs out of Ohio. "The Ohio Contractors Association and other backers of a ban say such quotas often make it harder for contractors to hire the best people... [Opponents of the bill] say the rules help keep money in the local economy and ensure that tax money goes to Ohio workers." [7] In the end,the bill passed by just a 5 votes,making it one of the most closely contested proposals of the year. [8]
On November 17,2015,Arndt voted in favor of "legislation that would allow concealed handguns to be taken into day-care centers,public buildings,airports outside security checkpoints,and publicly accessible areas of police stations... House Bill 48 passed 63-25 over vocal Democratic objections that no opponents of the bill were allowed to give floor speeches before House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger,a Clinton County Republican,called for a vote. Even without the speeches,though,there was little doubt that the measure would pass the GOP-dominated House once it was called to the floor." [9] [10]

"War on women" is a slogan in United States politics used to describe certain Republican Party policies and legislation as a wide-scale effort to restrict women's rights,especially reproductive rights,including abortion. Prominent Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer,as well as feminists,have used the phrase to criticize proponents of these laws as trying to force their social views on women through legislation. The slogan has been used to describe Republican policies in areas such as access to reproductive health services,particularly birth control and abortion services;the definition of rape for the purpose of the public funding of abortion;the prosecution of criminal violence against women;and workplace discrimination against women.
A six-week abortion ban,also called a "fetal heartbeat bill" by proponents,is a law in the United States which makes abortion illegal as early as six weeks gestational age,which is when proponents claim that a "fetal heartbeat" can be detected. Medical and reproductive health experts,including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,say that the reference to a fetal heartbeat is medically inaccurate and misleading,for a conceptus is not called a fetus until eight weeks after fertilization,as well as that at four weeks after fertilization,the embryo has no heart,only a group of cells which will become a heart. Medical professionals advise that a true fetal heartbeat cannot be detected until around 17 to 20 weeks of gestation when the chambers of the heart have become sufficiently developed.
