Virginia Senate Democrats Pass Amendment for Abortions Up to Birth

Determined abortion advocates in the House of Delegates moved the radical unlimited abortion up to birth amendment to the Virginia Constitution forward on Tuesday. The vote along party lines, followed a passionate debate on the floor of the House.

More than 50 pro-life women and men from across Virginia came to the Capitol to attend the House Debate and the Senate hearing. Individuals came from Alexandria to Lynchburg to be seen and heard by members on short notice.  VSHL says this is a small example of the growing opposition to these radical bills. They far outnumbered those attending who supported the amendment.

Pro-life Republican Delegates urged the members to recognize just how extreme the resolution is by highlighting the lack of clarity in the language which poses a serious legal threat to Virginia’s remaining protective pro-life laws creating a serious potential for court challenges to Virginia’s laws, including the states parental consent law before a minor girl can have an abortion.

They reminded the pro-abortion Democrat majority that the issue of abortion is different than any other medical matter because every abortion ends the life of a child in the womb. Delegates Early, Coyner, Gilbert, Frietas, Garrett, and Griffin made powerful statements raising the alarm about the dangers of this extreme amendment, both to unborn children and their mothers.

Later yesterday afternoon, pro-abortion members of the Senate Privileges and Election Committee voted to send their version of the same bill to the full Senate. Once again Democrat members rebuffed valid questions about the legal effect of the extreme amendment from pro-life committee members, Senators Sturtevent, Durrant and Diggs, who suggest that the amendment will interfere with the responsibility of legislators to preserve rational protections to ensure the safety of women who obtain abortions.

“Virginia Society for Human Life is grateful to those members who spoke and every member who voted to stop this dangerous bill. Sadly, it did not prevent passage of the resolution in the first step towards becoming a ballot measure, but this is just the first step in this two-year process and Virginians will not forget in November what happened today.”, said Olivia Gans Turner, President of VSHL.
