In a statement, March for Life Defense and Education Fund President Jeanne Mancini said that she was "delighted" to partner with these organization, and will work to "bring together and mobilize countless pro-life Virginians who are appalled by the past few weeks' pro-abortion activity in their beloved state."
On January 29, Virginia Del. Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax), the lead sponsor of the Repeal Act, was questioned in a legislative committee session about her bill, which would have removed pro-life safeguards, and reduced the number of doctors needed to approve of a third-trimester abortion from three to just one.
During questioning, Tran admitted that there was nothing in the bill that would stop a woman from procuring an abortion while she was in active labor if she felt her mental or emotional health would be at risk.
