Donald Trump shocked America again, asserting that women who obtain an abortion, if the procedure were outlawed, should be subjected to “some sort of punishment.” The backlash was swift. Punishment for women who procure abortions is out of step with mainstream pro-life conservatives, who instead advocate punishment for abortion providers.

After this latest outburst and other high-profile examples of Trump’s misogyny, women voters are reacting coldly. Trump has the lowest favorability ratings among women out of all the candidates, with 70 percent of women reporting an unfavorable opinion of him.

Facing their impending national convention, GOP leaders are panicking over women voters’ intense dislike of Trump. Perhaps there will be a push to nominate Ohio Governor John Kasich, currently leading all candidates in favorability ratings amongst women voters. In contrast to the rest of the field of GOP candidates, Kasich is viewed as a “moderate,” both sensible and dependable.

In fact, he has become an outsider of sorts, an old-school good ol’ boy from the Midwest in a campaign dominated by bullying and absurdity. Kasich’s folksy demeanor and appeal for a more respectable race has postured him as the only acceptable candidate for many Republicans facing the nightmare alternatives of Trump and Ted Cruz.

However, after delving into Kasich’s record as governor, it is clear that he is no moderate, especially regarding women’s reproductive rights.

Though the public, and women in particular, rightly react with horror at Trump’s advocacy for women’s punishment, Kasich’s actions as governor have harmed far more women than simple rhetoric.

Since he entered office in 2011, Kasich has signed into law 16 anti-abortion measures. He has approved every single restriction on abortion and family planning that has come before him.

“He is—if not the worst—among the worst of anti-choice governors in this country’s history,” Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, an abortion rights advocacy group, said. His record includes the 20-week late-term ban, which bans abortion after 20 weeks if a doctor determines the fetus is viable.

Kasich claims that he is interested in protecting human life. However, the reality of late-term abortions is that they only account for less than 1 percent of all abortion procedures, and often they occur for wanted pregnancies.

20 weeks is the stage at which many birth defects are detected, so these late-term abortions are most often performed for the health of the patient or because of fetal abnormalities. By restricting abortion access after 20 weeks, Kasich has made it that much harder for women to obtain crucial healthcare.

Trump’s punishment rhetoric is disturbing, but it pales in comparison to Kasich’s policies against women who have been raped. In the 2013 state budget bill, Kasich approved a gag-order against state-funded rape crisis counselors, preventing them from referring women to abortion providers.

Kasich states that he is not opposed to abortion in the cases of “rape, incest, or health of the mother,” but when a woman who has been raped asks for help, Kasich is comfortable denying her state assistance. This policy, like Kasich, is disingenuous and dangerous to women.

Though Trump calls for punishment, his record on anti-choice legislation has nothing on Kasich. During his tenure, the number of abortion providers in Ohio halved from 16 to 8. In February, Kasich signed a bill defunding Planned Parenthood, cutting $1.4 million in funding for an organization that provides screenings for breast cancer, STD testing, programs working to prevent violence against women, and more.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards stated, “It’s clear Kasich has no regard for women’s health or lives, and will stop at nothing to block health care for the tens of thousands of Ohioans who rely on Planned Parenthood.”

Even more egregious, Kasich supports legislation that, in effect, punishes women for seeking an abortion. In the 2013 state budget, measures were included forcing women in clinics that receive state funding to receive a medically unnecessary ultrasound to check for a fetal heartbeat.

This state-mandated ultrasound is performed despite a woman not wanting one and her doctor not recommending it. Even more disturbingly, women seeking an abortion are forced to pay for this completely unnecessary procedure!

Kasich is such an expert on women’s bodies and reproductive health that he frequently intervenes in the private consultation between a woman and her doctor. He passed legislation that requires a Republican-written script to be read to women by their doctors, whether or not the doctors agree with the script or want it read to their patients.

With this intervention in patient-doctor relationships, one could be excused for assuming Kasich has any sort of medical background that qualifies him to tell women what to do with their bodies.

Women need to sound the alarm about Kasich and the danger he poses to women and their bodily autonomy. The public is well aware of Trump’s sick critiques of women’s looks, while failing to grasp the gross violations that Kasich has committed against the women of his state by enacting anti-choice legislation.

Unlike Trump, Kasich has a long record of taking away women’s choices and harming their health. Make no mistake, Kasich enjoys punishing women, too.
