If anybody has any doubt about abortionists’ priorities — or Democrats’ dedication to them — one need only read Virginia House Joint Resolution 1.
Having taken control of the Virginia House of Delegates and kept control of its Senate, Virginia Democrats signaled their commitment to abortion by prefiling in symbolic first place a bill to write abortion on demand into the Old Dominion’s state constitution.
The proposed amendment guarantees abortion on demand for any reason throughout pregnancy. Unlike Ohio’s recently adopted Issue One, it does not even feign the pretense of a post-viability limit on abortion. Instead, any restriction by Virginia would be subject to a test that identifies a “compelling state interest” and is the “least restrictive means” to achieve that interest.
Clearly, under this amendment, the state has no interest in the life of the unborn. In that sense, it’s even more radical than Roe v. Wade, which paid lip service to the state’s “interest” in “potential life” (though, in practice, the Court never found any instance in which that “interest” stood in the way of an abortion).
What is clearly behind this language (and its references to “accepted clinical standards” and “evidence-based medicine”) is the exclusion of any sort of legislation attendant to abortion that might conceivably discourage a woman from having one. From 2012 through 2020, for example, Virginia required women to be shown an ultrasound of their unborn child and had a 24-hour waiting period prior to obtaining an abortion. Ultrasound imagery did cause some women to change their minds.

Democrats are a death cult.
Abortion is a spiritual issue more than a legal issue.
Abortion is Child Sacrifice.
God doesnt need me interfering with his plans..Im a christian who believes God will seek revenge on anyone who participated in child sacrifice. In his time, and its going to be horrible for these people.
Baloney, we regulate morality all the time. I am sure you have no problem with death penalty for murderers. That is legislating morality.
God does have in interest in seeing that we are law abiding, that makes us free to spread the gospel.
Romans 13:4 “For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”
People need to see abortion. Then ask democrats why they are pushing it so hard on the populace. Make them answer these questions.
For the rats abortion is the golden ticket. They will is it to mobilize millions of selfish single issue women voters across the country. Dodd was the right decision but it is proving to be catastrophic. They are going to get these ballot initiatives on the November ballots in every swing state.
Well it’s a State issue now. That’s the best we could have hoped for.
"There are far too many picaninnies around. If we can, we should encourage all black women to abort their fetuses. It's what we have been doing since Saint Margaret Sanger received her spiritual guidance almost 100 years ago."
They’re going back to the well. Can you blame them?
Reproductive Health Care,right?
Infanticide is now widely accepted, encouraged, even considered a “constitutional right” by leftists. Socialists have no belief in God, so murder is remarkably easy, even murdering your own child is like a trip to the dentist.
Abortion is the amoral Marxist sacrament for narcissists, hedonistic fornicators, irresponsible ‘fathers’, etc.
Anybody who is “Pro Choice” is either ignorant, naive, heartless, or maybe just indoctrinated by the false narrative that sophists like Planned Parenthood have been bombarding us with for all these years.
as far as the world today. There are too many people waiting to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ to waste time on people who are lost and intend on staying lost
there is far too much good harvest to waste efforts trying to collect rotten fruit.
Of course you can. Murder, rape, robbery, assault, 'discrimination', fraud, theft ... these are all examples of legislating morality.
"You can't legislate morality" is code for "I want to commit buggery and kill babies".
They forgot the postpartum abortions former Governor Mengele was so fond of.
All you're doing id telling them is " if you do this , we may punish you"..
morality is internal. you cant put morals in an adult- ie: you really cant legislate morals into peoples hearts.
If you slaughter babies in utero we may punish you. I reiterate my translation of "you can't legislate morality". It's a bullshit phrase meant to confuse and obfuscate that the speaker is dedicated to sodomy and baby-killing.
Will it require the Governor’s agreement, and 2/3 majority in both legislative bodies without the Governor’s agreement? I don’t think the Dims in Virginia can get a 2/3 majority on anything.
The Democrats are HAPPY that abortion is a state issue! This legislative maneuver is likely to fail just in time to get an abortion initiative on the 2024 ballot. The Democrats know that including abortion in an election will bring out the liberal vote. They will do anything to put obstacles in front of President Trump.
You are right. It is the Democrat golden ticket. See my post #19. However you need to improve your typing or your English. Your second sentence is gibberish.
