This week Delegate Nick Freitas (R-Culpeper)filed HB 1274, titled the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act“. It reads:
“The Act prohibits an abortion after 20 weeks gestation unless, in reasonable medical judgment, the mother has a condition that so complicates her medical condition as to necessitate the abortion to avert her death or to avert serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.â€
With Republicans controlling the HOD, the bill will easily pass in that body. Because the Democrats control the Virginia Senate (51-49) Republicans will need one Democrat vote to tie it. Republican Lt.Governor Winsome Sears would then break the tie with her vote and the bill would pass to the Governor to sign into law.
Senator Joe Morrissey may provide the only Democrat vote necessary to pass the bill into law. Morrissey has stated he is “unapologetically pro-life†and as recently as a year ago he voted with Republicans to add restrictions to abortion.

Erica and Schmuckead John are here I see… Hey boys since you support My Body Myself… Where do you stand on vaccine mandates?
Roe v Wade is the law. Leave it alone. Everyone should be vaccinated
Let’s “vaccinate” the life-haters by injecting a needle into their hearts and then giving them a couple of “booster shots” by dismembering them limb by limb.
I bet you consider yourself a devout Christian.
I bet you don’t realize you are an absolute Satanist.
Good to see the Conservative legislative desires in black and white. Let’s force little Susie to have Uncle Rick’s baby!!
Hey Erica.. you are not from Richmond obviously but rather a carpet bagger sucking off the government in America’s wealthiest county… but why is Morissey pro life? You’ve got twenty weeks to abort the product of rape or incest… but it isn’t easy to get an abortion now.. not because of the laws. Doctors have left abortion because it isn’t a lucrative business. Very low quality doctors are left and they botch it…
“Doctors have left abortion because it isn’t a lucrative business” I don’t believe you
Gee… Tippy… why might a young girl that has been raped by a family member hide the resulting pregnancy for a few months…? A real head scratcher that is…
This bill is the new and improved Virginia Republican transvaginal ultrasound bill. It won’t get passed but it shows Virginia voters what will get passed if they Senate moves to Republicans in 2023. Very good of you all to show your hand…
Hey Erica… 20 weeks is five months. Not a few months. Hey answer my question you little cretinous dunghead. Where do you stand on vaccine mandates… my body myself shit for brains.
Not to teach you what you should have learned in HS, Tippy, but a baby bump doesn’t even start to show until 16-20 weeks. A young incestuous rape victim would be able to hide things well past the 20 week cut off. Why do you Conservstives want to make her carry her rapists child to term? You love rapists, I suppose… especially when they are kin… Uncle Ernie always wanted a child (in more ways than one)..,,
