Please stop using politics to control women, ruin their lives or force them into having unwanted children or unsafe abortions. I have lived over 50 years of my life seeing the ramifications of my oldest sister having 2 unwanted children, and it has been nothing but ugly. Women who are forced into having unwanted children do NOT turn into loving mothers who care for their children!! Ever seen a todler with cigarette burns or belt welts on their backs? Ever seen a Mother scream at her children that she hates them and they ruined her life? Ever hear a woman laugh about telling her kids that she would kill herself if she was stuck with them for the rest of her life? Anyone who thinks that denying a woman the ability to chose her future will make a happy family has not endured what my family has gone through since the 1950s. Please keep choice/abortion available and legal in Virginia. You can do everything you can to try to control women's bodies and future, but you'll never control their minds. You can force a woman to have an unwanted child, but you can't force her to love or care for it.
