Jennifer Wexton Wrote an Op-Ed Piece
You may not have seen it, because it is only in the print edition of Loudoun Times Mirror (and in their e-edition, scroll to page A21).
Since LTM wouldn't put up a link, you can read it at Jennifer's website!
And while you're there, why not get involved? It's time for a new Commonwealth's Attorney.

CBPO Dead
Killed by Scott York, Lori Waters, Eugene Delgaudio, Jim Burton, and...Andrea McGimsey.
Yeah, I'm shaking my head over it, too.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime...
I've been hearing a lot lately about "Liberty and Justice for All, Born and Unborn."
It is not justice to force a pregnant person into involuntary servitude for 9 months, risking her life and health. With no trial. No judge. No jury.
It is not justice to declare that the life and health of a living person is worth less than the fetus she carries. With no trial. No judge. No jury.
It is not justice to withhold life-saving surgery from a living person due to concern for the fetus she carries. With no trial. No judge. No jury.
It is PARTICULARLY not justice to do so when you are also working to allow pharmacists to refuse to dispense birth control.
It is PARTICULARLY not justice to do so when you are also working to prevent accurate sex education.
It is PARTICULARLY not justice to do so when you are working to cut funds to social services, day care, foster care.
Oh! And in case you thought Choice is only about Abortion, here's a post that will better inform you.
And if you're interested in empowering young people to make reproductive choices that work for them, why not donate to NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Foundation (the second button, it's tax deductible!) and help with their mission in Petersburg, VA.

...If we truly valued children, we would do everything in our power not to traumatize, deprive, or neglect them...
Until I see this, I won’t believe that “pro-lifers” care about life at all. I won’t believe that “family values” proponents care about families. And I won’t believe that those who seek to “protect” children care about children.
