Virginia Democrats Introduce Groundbreaking Bills to Secure Abortion Access and Outline 2024 Agenda
Virginia Democrats, who recently gained control of the state's General Assembly, have introduced four bills, including a proposal for a constitutional amendment to guarantee abortion access in the state. The bills also include raising the minimum wage, banning assault-style firearms, and repealing felon voter disqualification. The push for the constitutional amendment comes after abortion became a prominent issue in the election, with both parties campaigning on the topic. Virginia Republicans criticized the legislation, accusing Democrats of changing their stance on abortion.
