Nearly 50 Virginia schools held walkouts in support of abortion access

More than 44 Virginia schools and James Madison University participated in a Statewide Student Day of Action for Abortion Access on Monday, holding walkouts in support of federal and state measures that will codify Roe v. Wade, including the certification of the Equal Rights Amendment in the Constitution.

At least 1,000 students were expected to participate in the walkouts while others chose to participate by wearing green. Some schools have also chosen to continue advocacy throughout the week and hold demonstrations on Monday and Thursday.

"I have engaged in countless conversations with students locally and throughout our state, and they long to have their voices respected and acknowledged in the fight for reproductive rights," says Felix Hedberg, the Generation Ratify Virginia Policy Director and junior at Open High School. "It’s time to listen to youth. Virginia was the 38th state to ratify the ERA, shining the spotlight on Virginia in the movement for gender equality and reproductive justice. Generation Z is ready to capitalize on that attention to ensure Youngkin and Virginia Republicans won’t succeed in rewriting Virginia as a commonwealth against abortion access."

I believe the teachers that instigated this should be Arrested, Fired, then forced to watch botched abortion videos over and over again.

100% of the pro-abortion activists were allowed to be born. 100% of the aborted babies are anti-abortion.

Motherhood is put on the same pedestal that fatherhood is crushed under.

That results in:

1. Some people insisting that mothers who murder their own children must be invincibly ignorant, or coerced, or figures from a Gothic romance novel who are driven by Dickensian desperation complete with cloaks blowing in the wind on a storm-clouded hill

and

2. Some people insisting that fathers, by default, don’t love their own daughters and sons, don’t want to raise their own daughters and sons, and must be deserting philanderers

Apparently you can spend your way towards marxism as well.

I’d rather have GOP make smart decisions where the voters flock to them, rather than f things up so badly we need to start shooting each other in a civil war. But that’s just me.

a little ironic, since they are the children that lived .. how about a day where all students confront their mothers about possible missing siblings?
