COLUMBUS -- Backers of the "Heartbeat Bill," which would outlaw abortion once a beating heart can be detected, used an ultrasound projector on Wednesday to show members of a House committee the heartbeats of unborn babies carried by two women.
The heartbeat demonstration was provided by Ducia Hamm, executive director of the Ashland Care Center. Two women, Heather Raubenolt, 15 weeks pregnant, and Erin Glockner, nine weeks pregnant, were connected separately to a monitor and the movements of their unborn babies were projected on a screen with the heartbeats played from a speaker. House Bill 125 would require a doctor to check if an unborn baby a woman is carrying has a heartbeat before performing an abortion.

DEAR ABBY: I married "Andy" a year ago. He has three children from a prior marriage. He had a vasectomy eight years ago, but promised he'd have it reversed so we could have a child together. He didn't get around to it, but I'm pregnant anyway.
At first we felt it was our miracle baby. However, 15 weeks later, Andy is now "sure" the baby isn't his. Things have gotten so bad that I moved out of our house.

Dear Harlan: I'm 15 years old, and I'm three weeks pregnant. My boyfriend says that he'll take care of everything and that we'll get through it, but I'm so worried.
About three months ago, my parents told me that I couldn't see him anymore, that he was a bad influence on me. We've been seeing each other in secret ever since, but if my parents find out that I'm pregnant, they'll know who the father is.

NEW MOTHER IMARA closely protects her 2-day-old calf at the Virginia Zoo. The unnamed female Masai giraffe is adjusting well to her surroundings in her night house, where zoo visitors might catch a glimpse of the newest and largest baby - at 6 feet, 150 pounds. She will go on exhibit in about two weeks. Although Imara was pregnant for 15 months, zoo staff were not certain until recently because giraffes hide their pregnancy so they're not vulnerable to predators.
