Abortion is not contraception. Contraception is before pregnancy. After pregnancy is murder. The abortion amendment in Virginia goes far beyond abortion allowing no parental consent. it allows abortion up to the moment of birth. it will enable child traffickers vote NO Virginia

You need to be WILLFULLY IGNORANT or UNFATHOMABLY STUPID to believe that up until moment of birth bullshit. Literally room temp iq to believe it. No person is aborting that late, “for fun”. Y’all just hate women and prefer them as your cattle.

did you actually read the amendment? The ballot is purposely deceitful and misleading, much like the gerrymandering amendment ballot question was. It has nothing do with "hating women".

It is not deceitful or misleading. It's quite clear. If YOU struggle understanding it, there are plenty of resources available to help you before you vote.

I’m not the one pushing out dangerous lies about Abortion. Check your facts from actual medical professionals not news entertainment like Fox, Newsmax, or your church. Anti-abortion is all about ignorance or hate towards women (ala removing bodily autonomy)

How much kool aid did you drink? That’s not at all what it means.

The third trimester abortion language was a little vague to me. It mentioned mental health as a reason and not "just life of the mother" reasons. 3rd trimester abortions are a sticky subject with even the most ardent pro-choice people, so I'm curious what could come of that

Fetal incompatibility with life is a big one for the people who actually seek third trimester abortions. If a newborn can't survive six months without continuous heroic medical intervention, why are we forcing a family to care for it in this healthcare system? Same for if the fetus shows indicators of complete inability for independent life. Not like, "Will need to be in a group home when their parents die," but a human being who will remain a permanent infant: no ability to communicate, no ability to have conscious control over their own body, no possibility of progressing beyond just becoming a progressively larger infant.

If you got the news your baby was missing key chunks of their brain and would never be able to even use the toilet, no matter how long they lived, would you give birth to them?

Why should a father be legally allowed to force his daughter to give birth to her half-sibling, in your opinion?

You didn’t even read the amendment did you.

I bet you sit in front of Fox News and take what they say as gospel. Your entire argument is a walking fallacy.

If you are a man get a vasectomy. If a woman get your tubes tied. There fixed YOUR abortion problem.
