Virginia Democrats in the state legislature passed a bill on Thursday that will enact unconstitutional red flag laws and followed it up with another piece of legislation that allows non-doctors to perform abortions.
Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, who has been accused of committing violent sexual assault, cast the tie-breaking vote on the abortion measure after the state senate reached a 20-20 deadlock.
The legislation will allow nurse practitioners and physicians assistants to perform abortions in the state of Virginia. It also will remove women from hearing the following information before receiving an abortion:
A full, reasonable and comprehensible medical explanation of the nature, benefits, and risks of and alternatives to the proposed procedures or protocols to be followed in her particular case;
An instruction that the woman may withdraw her consent at any time prior to the performance of the procedure;
An offer for the woman to speak with the physician who is to perform the abortion so that he may answer any questions that the woman may have and provide further information concerning the procedures and protocols;
A statement of the probable gestational age of the fetus at the time the abortion is to be performed and that fetal ultrasound imaging shall be performed prior to the abortion to confirm the gestational age
Making matters even worse, the other chamber in the Virginia legislature passed a bill to enact unconstitutional red flag laws that strip gun owners of due process in taking their guns. It passed by a 52-46 vote.
“Today we fulfilled our promise to make Virginia’s communities safer from preventable gun violence,” wrote Virginia House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn in a statement.
“Too many Virginians have lost a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker because their elected representatives refused to take measures to keep firearms away from those who would do harm to themselves and others,” she added.
The red flag law was one of many anti-gun bills passed by the Virginia House Democrats today. They boasted about their progress in destroying the 2nd Amendment on social media:
The red flag legislation and the bill to relax abortion restrictions still need to pass the other chamber and be signed by Governor Blackface Northam before they can be come law.
Unfortunately for conservatives, last week’s peaceful gun rights rally at the Virginia Capitol has not deterred the Democrats one iota. They are continuing with their march to destroy the Constitution at breakneck speed.
LOL - notice that this doesn’t apply to street thugs and criminals. Just friends, neighbors, and coworkers who can now have police show up unannounced and take their property.
Also - nice job Virginia on legalizing Imams to perform coat hanger abortions at their mosques.
Virginia is going to give us a great example for the 2020 election season. “This is what it looks like when democrats get full control”.
They are writing the most effective campaign ads of the last half century with every new bill.
Deep State plan for the country. Virginia is the test bed.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. All downhill from here. The population of West Virginia is about to get a whole lot bigger. I can’t see any reasonable or sane person staying in Virginia and dealing with this insanity. Let the leftists have their crime-ridden utopia.
I guess based on how I was raised I will never understand how people are attracted to policies like this and the politicians that push them. Why would anyone support giving up more rights and killing children? It’s downright satanic.
Sounds to me like the Democrats are worse.
Gov. Big Black Sambo has now legalized murders of innocent babies that are considered non persons.
Criminals are now the only legal gun owners in VA.
I think you’re right.
Government is now what church and parent’s used to be.
People want to identify with a party and if they want to identify with the Democrat party they must be on board with their agenda.
This right here. This is why they want to destroy the family so they can replace the family with big government. I can’t understand why people go along with this when at this stage it is completely transparent what their motives are.
In order to grow the size and power of the gov’t exponentially you need a national crisis on the scale of The Great Depression and WWII.
If one doesn’t arise naturally you must create same artificially.
It’s been a slow boil for several decades now but the tantrum over Trump’s election has kicked it all into overdrive.
