Senator Christopher Head, a Republican representing parts of Fairfax and surrounding areas, took to the floor to lambast the proposal. He highlighted the irony of Democrats claiming to preserve democracy while seeking to redraw district lines in a manner that would ensure electoral outcomes favor one party.
Senator Emily Jordan, a Republican, passionately argued for the amendment, emphasizing crystal clear protections for what she described as fundamental rights. She pointed to multiple references in the legislation underscoring the need to provide care for infants born alive, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their birth.
Senator Mark Obenshain, speaking at a recent session, highlighted the dangers posed by the proposal. He noted that 80 percent of Americans, including a majority in Virginia, support reasonable restrictions on abortion, such as parental notification and consent laws for minors.
In an aggressive step towards enshrining unlimited abortion in Virginia, the Commonwealth’s Democrat-majority Senate late last month advanced a ballot measure that would codify abortion until birth in the state’s constitution.
Democrats in Virginia's General Assembly are aware that their extreme bills have no chance of escaping the Republican Governor. Glenn Youngkin has the veto pen. But Democrats insist on introducing as many extreme left-wing bills as possible in the 2025 session.
