The Ohio governor John Kasich has said he will sign a state bill currently under debate that would ban abortions carried out because a child has Down’s syndrome.

“I would sign it, yes,” Kasich said in an interview with CNN broadcast on Sunday. “Look, I’m a governor. I’m a CEO. I have to have a hand steady on the wheel.

“But in this case, I’m more than glad to say that of course I would sign that.”
