Virginia Delegate Who Proposed Infanticide Bill Has A New Cause: Saving Caterpillars

The Virginia delegate who submitted a horrifying partial birth abortion bill this week which, had it passed, would have allowed the termination of a pregnancy up until mid-birth, has taken the lead on a second bill, this time — ironically — to protect the “fall cankerworm.”

Democratic Virginia Del. Kathy Tran is the brains behind “Virginia House Bill No. 2491 — Abortion; eliminate certain requirements,” a bill that removes two central requirements to Virginia’s partial birth abortion regulations: that three doctors certify that the fetus in question is non-viable, and that partial birth abortion be allowed for reasons other than physical abnormality. The bill also allows abortionists to perform the procedure during active labor, after the woman has dialated and is in the process of giving birth to a living child.
