March for Life Statement on Virginia 2020 Election Results

 

“The election results in Virginia are disappointing for those who value life. Earlier this year, Governor Northam and Delegate Tran made it clear where they would like to see Virginia in terms of abortion policy, that is allowing abortion up until birth and, as Northam explained, maybe even after birth. While pro-life Virginians rose up to defeat the Tran abortion extremism in committee and to condemn infanticide earlier this year, pro-abortion candidates in the state were helped by a $1.2 million PAC gift from New York billionaire George Soros, including a $350,000 check to Planned Parenthood Virginia. With 2020 around the corner, it’s an opportunity for the pro-life community to again come together to reject abortion extremism during the legislative session.”

-Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life
