"Women in other states who may have been injured by abortion practitioners willing to break the laws of other places need to be sure that Virginia will not provide a hiding place for these rogue abortionists. Thank you, Governor Youngkin for rejecting this dangerous bill." -Virginia Society for Human Life president Olivia Gans Turner

(Richmond, VA) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin recently vetoed two pro-abortion measures that would have enabled the abortion industry to evade punishment for violating the laws of other states, but signed a third law preventing law enforcement from using electronically-stored menstrual health data in criminal investigations.

NBC Washington reports that Youngkin vetoed bills that would have blocked extraditions to other states for those who flee to Virginia to violate their home states' pro-life laws and would have forbidden state medical authorities from disciplining Virginia doctors for helping violate other states' laws.

America's "cooperative extradition system could collapse if individual states were to carve out crimes for which they would not recognize codified laws because of differing political positions," the governor said in his veto messages. He added that he did not want to "ope[n] the door to a resurgence of unsafe, risky abortions occurring outside of clinical settings."

"Women in other states who may have been injured by abortion practitioners willing to break the laws of other places need to be sure that Virginia will not provide a hiding place for these rogue abortionists," responded Virginia Society for Human Life president Olivia Gans Turner. "Thank you, Governor Youngkin for rejecting this dangerous bill"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
