NEWS FLASH
Pro-Choice Protestors Line Walkway To Virginia Capitol | Yesterday, several hundred protestors lined the walkway to the Virginia Capitol to protest the many attacks on reproductive freedom making their way through the state legislature — including a “state-sponsored rape” bill that requires most women to be vaginally probed before they can receive an abortion. Because the Virginia Capitol’s rules apparently do not allow visitors to “hold signs, chant, yell or protest,” the protestors gathered in silent protest against the anti-choice bills.
Update
Lawmakers delayed the vote on the vaginal probe bill in the wake of these protests.
