A Republican supermajority has muscled two of the most restrictive anti-abortion bills in years through the Virginia House, including one that would all but outlaw the procedure in the state by declaring that the rights of persons apply from the moment sperm and egg unite.
Marshall's bill for years had passed the conservative House only to bog down and die in a moderate Senate. This time, it stands to survive a Senate under new conservative control after last fall's election stripped the Democrats of power. Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell, a socially conservative Roman Catholic, has said he will sign the ultrasound bill, but has taken no position on Marshall's personhood bill, said his spokesman J. Tucker Martin.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- IS POLITICS FOR HIGHER OFFICE COMING INTO PLAY HERE.
Politics? Is Governor McDonnell going the way of the GOP establishment? Is he Forgetting what got him into office in the first place?
The people of Virginia need to step in and step up to this prolife Governor do what is right.
