rolling back abortion rights. These assholes in Fundieland (I mean Richmond) are just too predictable. :argh:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/14/AR2007011401038.htmlRICHMOND -- Abortion rights advocates are gearing up to fight more than a dozen bills before the General Assembly this year, including a measure that would outlaw nearly all abortions in Virginia should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.
The debate over abortion is a yearly ritual for the Republican-controlled General Assembly, but a pending Supreme Court decision on the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and this fall's legislative races could heighten the discussion this year.
A bill by Del. Robert G. Marshall would have Virginia revert to pre-1973 abortion laws if Roe v. Wade were overturned. (By Robert A. Reeder For The Washington Post)
Bills Under Consideration
The Virginia General Assembly is considering several bills involving abortion and pregnancy this year.
"I have no doubt if the Supreme Court overturns Roe that Virginia would be one of the states that makes it illegal to have an abortion," said Ann O'Hanlon, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia
