Action on 2003 General Assembly Pro-Life Legislation

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Please contact via phone, e-mail or letter your delegates and senators of the Virginia General Assembly before April 1 with the following message:

HB1541 and SB1205 Partial Birth Infanticide Ban have been amended by Governor Mark Warner. Please contact your delegates and senators and ask them to reject ALL amendments and when the bills are returned to the Governor and (if) vetoed, please vote to override the vetoes. There is never a medical necessity for a health of the mother exception for a partial birth abortion.

HB1402 and SB1124 Parental Consent for Abortion have also been amended by Governor Warner to include striking the notarization of the authorized person. Please ask the delegates and senators to reject ALL amendments and when the bills are returned to the Governor and (if) vetoed, please ask them to vote to override the vetoes. Notary Publics do not read contents of what they are notarizing; they just verify that the person signing is that person, in this instance an "authorized" person.

HB 1406 Choose Life License Plates has been vetoed by Governor Warner. Please ask your delegates and senators to override the veto.

(For details on these bills and the votes taken on them, see Status of Bills Relating to Pro-Life Issues.)
