[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia can't outlaw abortions because of Roe v Wade. What is the point of this bill? Has the governor made any mention of signing it?

A state will eventually pass it, but one would think the Supreme Court would reject it because of the Roe v Wade and Griswold v Connecticut rulings.

Am I missing something here?[/quote]

Yes.  It's unconstitutional.  I don't know why people are wasting so much time discussing it and getting heated about it.  [/quote]

I have not gotten thru the whole thread, but I feel the need to address this.

It's unconstitutional now, but all of these laws are meant to being passed knowing they will be challenged in the hopes that Roe will be narrowed or overturned.  We are a generation of women who have become complacent because we think Roe and Griswold will protect us, but the law, while slow moving, is not static.  It is moving more conservative.   The rights we women have taken as givens in our lifetimes may not be there for our daughters.   
 
I don't understand why we are on DCUM complaining and why we are not writing letters and voting for the prochoice candidates.

And if you think it is just abortion rights we need to be worried about, there is now an assault on rights to birth control.   Once the personhood law is place, what's next?

You only need to visit the Holocaust Museum to understand how rights can be chipped away so slowly that no one notices until a population is marginalized and second class.  The history of the slow but tolerable law changes that affected the Jews so litlle each time that they didn't complain.  Bigger changes become easier after so many inconsequential ones.[/quote]
