VIRGINIA GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN WANTS 15-WEEK ABORTION LAW FOLLOWING SUPREME COURT DECISION

Virginia Governor wants 15-week abortion law. Governor Glenn Youngkin announced Friday in wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade, the constitutional right to an abortion.  Youngkin is asking four Republican state lawmakers to help his administration chart the most successful path forward to legislation in 2023. A Governor spokesperson says that he is seeking a 15-week abortion ban in Virginia after the ruling, but a compromise could come at 20 weeks. Abortions in Virginia will not be impacted by the opinion immediately, as efforts to impose restrictions failed to pass through the General Assembly earlier this year. The Governor has repeatedly said that he is pro-life, but that he supports exceptions for abortions in the cases of rape, incest, and where the mother's life is in danger. Currently, Virginia allows abortions during the second trimester and only afterwards in cases determined by three doctors that the pregnancy could result in the death of the mother or irremediably impair the mental or physical health of the mother.
