🚨 Last night, Youngkin sent down an anti-abortion budget amendment he is hoping YOU don't notice



🧵Last night, @GovernorVA Youngkin sent down an anti-abortion budget amendment he is hoping YOU don’t notice. It strips essential funding from lower-income pregnant people & families that receive a “gross & total incapacitating fetal anomaly diagnosis.”


This is a CRUEL & CALLOUS attack on a family facing a tragic pregnancy at their most vulnerable moment. This is also about taking power & control away from a family's personal, private medical decision. STUNNING! #AbortionIsHealthcare


3) Here is @GovernorVA Youngkin’s letter to legislators. How does forcing lower-income people to carry a doomed pregnancy to term against the advice of their medical provider and/or their own personal family decision make VA “the best state to raise a family?”


4) Riping the safety net out from under the most vulnerable Virginians during such a tragic situation is outright malicious. #AbortionIsHealthcare & the government has no place or right to interfere in a family’s personal medical decisions.


5) @REPRORising_va will hold ANY legislator who votes in favor of this diabolical budget amendment accountable. This is a direct violation of Virginians' personal medical decisions & EXTREME overreach of government. #valeg

🚨We need you too... 👇🏽


6) Call (804-786-2211)/Email: https://governor.virginia.gov/communicating-with-the-governors-office/ @GovernorVA Youngkin’s office to tell him you are OUTRAGED with his shameful attempt to play politics with families’ health, lives & futures by denying them a safety net.


7) Also, call/email YOUR Delegate and Senator and tell them to REJECT this budget amendment NOW!

⏰The vote is at NOON on Friday, June 17. Do your part to ensure VA families are able to make the best decisions for themselves despite their ability to pay!
