HB1 and HB 462 GO TOO FAR! Tell Virginia lawmakers that your body does not belong to the state.

Please help Virginians to understand how the rights of women are violated by these bills.

Virginia's HB 1 is a "fetal personhood" bill which would grant legal rights to a human fertilized egg. HB 462 is a bill which would require that a trans-vaginal ultrasound, an invasive, medically unnecessary procedure, be performed on any woman wishing to have an abortion. HB 1 has already passed the Virginia State House, and has strong support in the Virginia State Senate, and HB 462 has already passed both the House and Senate. Governor McDonnell has indicated that he would sign this bill into law.

If HB 1 becomes law, it could potentially ban commonly used forms of hormonal contraception (the pill, Mirena, etc), stem cell research, assisted reproductive technology like in vitro fertilization, and abortion, even in cases of rape, incest or the endangerment of the life of the mother. HB 462 would require that a a tranvaginal ultrasound be performed on any woman electing to have an abortion, against her consent.[/quote]
