In mid-September, the Ohio House of Representatives Speaker William G. Batchelder indicated the Ohio House would take up the “Heartbeat Bill,” legislation that bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. To discuss the "Heartbeat Bill," The Columbus Lawyers' Chapter of the Federalist Society is pleased to welcome Professor David Forte. Professor Forte has helped draft a number of pieces of legislation, including abortion legislation, for the Ohio General Assembly. Professor Forte served as chief counsel to the United States’ delegation to the United Nations during the Reagan administration, and he served as Consultor to the Pontifical Council for the Family under Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. He is also the editor of a volume entitled Natural Law and Contemporary Public Policy published by Georgetown University Press and is the senior editor of The Heritage Guide to the Constitution (2006). He holds degrees from Harvard College, Manchester University, England, the University of Toronto and Columbia University.
