Dear Friends,
My HB 1316, which will ban sex-selection abortions in Virginia, will be heard by the Courts of Justice Constitutional Law Subcommittee immediately after session tomorrow, January 18, 2013, in House Room C of the General Assembly Building. Please contact the members of the subcommittee (see below) and ask them to support this bill.
Sex selection abortions are becoming more common in the U.S. Studies show rising son-bias among certain groups. Among those groups, boy/girl birth ratios are normal for first born children but if a son is not the 1
st born the ratio of boys to girls is higher for 2
nd births and higher still for 3
rd births if neither the 1
st or 2
nd child is a boy. For more information on the studies,
visit Protect Our Girls here.
Courts of Justice Criminal Laws Subcommittee
Thank you for taking the time to fight this injustice.
Sincerely,
