The shocking move to “expand” abortion for any reason up to birth now being pushed in Virginia, New York, and Vermont did not occur in a vacuum. It has been part of an organized plan spearheaded by abortion insiders, including the largest chain of abortion facilities in the nation, Planned Parenthood. Support for measures to remove abortion from all state criminal codes will ensure a large windfall for the abortion industry especially in states<\/a> that already force taxpayers to fund abortion. Taxpayer funding of abortion is one of Planned Parenthood’s goals.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood proudly endorsed New York’s move<\/a> to repeal all restrictions in New York’s criminal code, enabling abortions past viability for even reasons of emotional or familial “health.” PPNYC Action Fund said the passage of the Reproductive Health Act<\/a> meant New York could “finally grow to be a model of what sexual and reproductive health care should be….” Read that again. PPNYC Action Fund believes New York’s extreme abortion law that caused widespread outrage is the ideal.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood president Leana Wen, who recently emphasized abortion was Planned Parenthood’s “core mission<\/a>,” also celebrated<\/a> the abortion law in New York. She said, “This law makes crystal clear that abortion is standard medical care.”<\/p>\n

So, it was no surprise that the largest abortion corporation in the nation would also support Virginia’s\u00a0move to permit unfettered abortion for all months of pregnancy in the state, via HB2491<\/a>,\u00a0sponsored by\u00a0Del. Kathy Tran<\/a>. Tran was clear<\/a> that the bill would allow a woman to obtain an abortion up to the time she gives birth<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
