The state of Virginia filed a legal motion today asking the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Last November, Virginia voters elected new pro-life officials — including a new pro-life Governor Glenn Young, Lt. Governor Winsome Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares. That pro-life administration has already sprung into action — with Youngkin creating a position of pro-life ambassador .
Today, the state’s attorney general filed legal papers with the Supreme Court asking it to remove Virginia’s name from a pro-abortion legal brief filed in the Dobbs abortion case related to a Mississippi pro-life law that the Supreme Court could use this year to overturn Roe v. Wade. Miyares says the pro-abortion view is no longer the position of the state and that Virginia wants the poorly-decided case reversed.
National Review has more: Virginia joined nearly two dozen progressive states in filing a Supreme Court brief in Dobbs , a case considering the constitutionality of a Mississippi law protecting unborn children after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The brief, led by California, argued that Mississippi’s law is unconstitutional and urged the Court not to overrule precedents such as Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey , which created and upheld a supposed constitutional right to abortion. The brief also asserted that overturning the Court’s abortion jurisprudence would have a number of negative effects on the states and their citizens. LifeNews is on GETTR.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
