Virginia removes abortion safeguards and threatens free speech
The Governor of Virginia has signed into law two ‘progressive’ Bills on abortion, sexual orientation and ‘gender identity’.
The state’s new Reproductive Health Protection Act rolls back safeguards for unborn children. Mothers will no longer have to be offered an ultrasound and an opportunity to hear their child’s heartbeat at least 24 hours before going ahead with an abortion.
The state branded the protections “medically unnecessary restrictions on women’s healthcare”.
