That's being called an "Abortion Ban" by Democrats and the Left Media.
Here's a link to what I mean....
Governor Youngkin is proposing abortion on demand through the 15th week, which is LONGER THAN
just the first trimester. At 15 weeks, the fetus starts to feel pain. Youngkin supports abortion after that
only in cases of rape, incest, or if the life of the mother is at risk.
"I believe we can get a 15-week pain threshold bill done in Virginia for the first time."
The governor noted that he supports "exceptions that are made in the case of rape and incest and when
the life of the mother is truly at risk."
So abortion on demand WOULD BE ALLOWED beyond the first trimester, and after that in cases of rape,
incest, or if the mother's life is at risk.
The Leftists and the Left Media are calling that a "15-week Abortion Ban". Or just "Banning abortions".
Headline: "Governor Youngkin's abortion ban proposal has opposing Virginia Democrats fired up"
Of course, he ISN'T proposing to ban abortions.
