This bumps the cost of abortion up to an extra $1500.
To say nothing about how this is effectively rape by needless and unwanted violations of the body. These people are so fucking sick. They couldn't get the democratic mandate behind their efforts to ban abortion so they're doing an end-run around the democratic process by making it virtually impossible to get an abortion.
It's just one more example of how the right wingers want to rule by any means necessary. It stems from an arrogant "we-know-what's-best-for-you" attitude that they accuse us of having.
You think THAT is bad. Check out the praise it receives:
Quote:“Today marks a victory for women in Virginia who will now have the opportunity to see their unborn child in the womb before making the life-altering decision of whether to have an abortion,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of SBA List. “Women across Virginia are thankful for legislators on both sides of the aisle who refused to be bullied by the abortion lobby. The fierce national debate surrounding this bill showed that the abortion lobby is more concerned about protecting their bottom line than they are about trusting women. Women should be trusted with more information, not less.”
Big brother would be proud of the way they worded that speech.
