Over 1,000 Pro-Life People Rally Against Infanticide at Virginia State Capitol

Nearly a thousand pro-lifers rallied Thursday in Richmond, Virginia against new political assaults on the lives of unborn babies.

Virginia lawmakers gathered with pro-life voters, students and other concerned residents to oppose radical pro-abortion legislation being pushed in states all across the country. The Right to Life rally took place outside the Virginia State Capitol.

A recent Virginia bill would have allowed abortions through all nine months of pregnancy, including while a mother is in labor – even if there is no physical threat to her health. The bill was defeated in committee last week, but the outrage against Gov. Ralph Northam, its sponsor Del. Kathy Tran and others for supporting the killing of unborn babies continues.

Many mourned the recently passed New York law that allows unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth, as well as similar bills to expand late-term abortions in New Mexico, Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

“Richmond will never be lit up in pink,” said Victoria Cobb, president of The Family Foundation of Virginia, referring to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s celebration of his new pro-abortion law.

Reagan Barklage of Students for Life of America urged Americans to resist the growing push for abortion and infanticide. She said a baby’s age, born or unborn, should not matter; every human life deserves protection.

“I don’t care what percentage of abortions happen after 26 weeks,” Barklage said. “Whether it’s 1%, 2%, or .0001%….it’s too high.”
