We are 23 days into the 2012 session of the Virginia General Assembly, and things are moving fast! Over the past few days, we've had some really awful legislation pass committees, including HB62. HB62 is an attempt to repeal Medicaid funding for abortion for women whose pregnancies have been diagnosed with severe fetal abnormalities. These cases are rare and often these pregnancies are very wanted by the families.
HB62 will punish the poorest women of Virginia by adding a crippling financial impact to a devastating diagnosis.
Please take action and let your Delegate know you OPPOSE HB62!
Current law allows taxpayer-funded Medicaid abortion even if a doctor just thinks there might be some mental issues with the baby....
Yes, because you know about 99% of all abortions done in Virginia are because the baby has severe genetic malformations. /sarc
The only thing they’re worried about is the devastating reduction in abortion money to their coffers. Sick, sick people.
