So much for a new day in American politics...please read this alert from Planned Parenthood and if you are so moved, take action: blog about it!

Planned Parenthood learned this morning that anti-choice hardliner Del. Bob Marshall (R-13) is introducing an abortion ban during the 2007 General Assembly session, which starts tomorrow. House Bill 2124 states that if and when Roe v. Wade is overturned, Virginia would return to the laws on its books pre-Roe. What does this mean?? It means that performing an abortion would be a criminal offense in Virginia, punishable by law.
