Virginia's two bishops issued a joint statement saying they were "dismayed and outraged" that the state's two senators voted against passing the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act on Monday evening.
Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington and Bishop Barry Knestout of Richmond said in the statement issued February 25 that is was "appalling" and "beyond comprehension" that the bill could not find unanimous support in the Senate.
