Virginia lawmakers advance amendment that would allow third-trimester abortions

[Michie]

The proposed amendment to the Virginia Bill of Rights would establish a "Fundamental Right to Reproductive Freedom," declaring that "every individual has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including the ability to make and carry out decisions relating to one's own prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, abortion care, miscarriage management, and fertility care."

"An individual's right to reproductive freedom shall not be, directly or indirectly, denied, burdened, or infringed upon unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means," the proposed amendment also states.

While the proposal stresses that "the Commonwealth may regulate the provision of abortion care in the third trimester," it prohibits the regulation of abortion in cases where a physician determines it is necessary to "protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual" or because "the fetus is not viable."

Evil.

No one has the right to kill.

May God rebuke them!

There are 2.9 million federal employees--80% in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. When the layoffs come, the betrayed will vote blue in force.
This bill may fail. The governor won't sign it.
But loss of career, pension, maybe even homes will turn the area so blue conservatives might feel like moving.
And as much as you want to prevent abortions in Virginia, your vote for the man poised to destroy their livelihoods makes your chances less than zero.

The very idea that women are having 3rd trimester abortions makes me want to vomit. But, you may go ahead and blame Trump for everything if you choose to do so.

So far the new president has taken strong actions to harm federal employees, immigrant families worried for the ones they love, LGBTQ and their families, Medicaid and some Medicare patients, and the police union. Took 2 days to alienate a large number of his numbed, betrayed voters. They will retaliate at each and every poll, each and every election.

illegal immigrants should not be in our nation and that is what the majority of Americans agree upon. We have a bloated federal government with far too many employees. The LGBTQ are people who have been given a much too dominant role in the Democratic Party politics as compared to their population in our country. Currently, President Donald Trump has very good approval numbers.

His margin was not that strong. Most people voted for him for economic reasons...so if they lose their jobs, or health care, or their Social Security is impacted, cheaper eggs or gas won't matter.
From what I've seen he's on a steamroller mowing down whole portions of the population.
Undocumented immigrants have citizen family members. Straight parents have gay and trans children. I know two women with trans grandkids. He harms their grandkids, egg prices don't matter.

How is he going to harm trans people?
The man who is supposed to be the enemy of LGBTQ people has The Village People perform at his inauguration and he dances with them on stage.

I am sure federal employees already vote blue...at least most probably do...so that is a nothing burger.

Sometimes you need to practice empathy to understand the all too real fears people have.
Think of the empathy of Jesus. A sick woman touched the hem of his garment. Jesus, intuitive and empathetic, immediately senses her pain.
He looked at humanity with the eyes of love and mercy.
Real life example: A young friend in his 40's needs a heart transplant. He walked the hospital floor with an aide each day and asked to stop briefly at each doorway to pray for the patient in the room.
That's empathy. Bishop Budde understands empathy.

Bishop Budde understands empathy.

...empathy and promoting an agenda can be 2 very different things...

 

[Fantine]

The new president promotes a very harsh agenda...which Bishop Budde correctly views as un-Christlike.

Great, but you didn't answer the question

"Bishop" Budde has views that are not biblical...and she promotes them.
