Republican Del. Ruth Rowan, lead sponsor of the West Virginia bill, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that West Virginia has an obligation to protect the unborn as “a Christian state where people care about their families and their children.”
“He’s our miracle. He’s why I’m so committed to what I’m doing right now,” Rowan said, speaking through tears during an interview on the House floor. “Life is precious, and we need to respect that.” Katie Quinonez, executive director of Women’s Health Center of West Virginia — the state's sole facility currently performing abortions — said the legislation would make abortion harder to access in a state where such access is already severely limited.
“Abortion bans, by default, are racist, are sexist, are rooted in white supremacy, particularly the exploitation of Black women and controlling women’s bodies and decisions," she said. Quinonez said she had two abortions in West Virginia — one when she was in high school at age 17 and the other at age 22.
West Virginia apparently has no obligation to protect the already-born.
A”Christian state”? We have separation of church and state here in the U.S.
They don't care about anyone, especially women.
you will never find a republican that cares about anything except themselves
