Virginia House Revives Bill Targeting Abortion Clinics

Virginia House Revives Bill Targeting Abortion Center Problems | LifeNews.com: The Virginia state House has revived legislation the state Senate killed that would target the problems at abortion clinics and put more regulations in place that would hold them to higher health and safety limits.

Del. Kathy Byron, a Republican, on Monday put forward an amendment to SB 924, a Senate bill on health and safety regulations for hospitals. The amendment essentially attached the pro-life bill the Virginia state Senate Education and Health Committee killed earlier this month to the legislation.

Because of the change to the Senate bill, it now goes back to the state Senate for a concurrence vote — but pro-life advocates have a better chance of getting the measure approved because the full Senate votes on the bill rather than just the members of the committee known for killing pro-life legislation.
