Virginia Bills Under Consideration
161 words.
In my effort to learn more about local and state politics, I’ve been perusing some of the new bills that the Virginia General Assembly will be discussing, and I came across this interesting gem: From our good friend and Catholic police state advocate Bob Marshall, of the recent Marshall/Newman Amendment fame, comes a new bill proposing to automatically make abortion illegal in Virginia if Roe v. Wade is overturned federally. Does he know something we don’t or is he just being optimistic?
My other favorite is HB 1777: “Provides that any person who transports, secretes, conceals, desecrates or alters a dead body with the intent to prevent detection of the death or the manner or cause of death is guilty of a Class 6 felony.” I’m ghoulishly curious about the situation that prompted the need for this law. I’d probably regret finding out, though.
