🧵Last night, @GovernorVA Youngkin sent down an anti-abortion budget amendment he is hoping YOU dont 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 Youngkins 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 familys 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

6) Call (804-786-2211)/Email: https://governor.virginia.gov/communicating-with-the-governors-office/ @GovernorVA Youngkins 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!

We're doing well, hope you guys are well too.
