Virginia Democrats Are About To Make Northam’s Baby-Killing Comments Reality
Ashley Bateman
Virginia legislators took a radical step forward in altering the state’s constitution on Friday, passing an extreme abortion amendment that will go to a people’s vote in November.
The Virginia “Fundamental Right to Reproductive Freedom” Amendment passed the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Friday along party lines, the result of a multi-year effort by Democrats to dismantle the few protections in place for the unborn in the state.
The amendment incorporates broad language and excludes basic safeguards. It includes no age limit, no parental rights, no ban on partial-birth abortions, no required medical treatment for babies born alive after a botched abortion, and no restrictions on taxpayer funding. The language goes so far as to protect anyone “aiding” a woman in killing her unborn child. Freedom of conscience protections are completely absent.
Hundreds of Virginians from across the state, including Democrats for Life, flooded the General Assembly building on Thursday to oppose the amendment. In an effort led by the Virginia Society for Human Life and Virginia’s Catholic bishops, constituents met with their legislators to express grave concerns and demand a “no” vote. Despite the public outcry, Democrat legislators voted in favor.
Conservative Virginians must now fight the abortion lobby for the people’s vote, which would determine adoption of the amendment in November’s general election.
