In Advance of Controversial Vote Overreacher-in-Chief Visits General Assembly Republicans

RICHMOND, VA: As Republicans in the Virginia General Assembly prepare to vote today on legislation that would force an invasive and medically unnecessary ultrasound on Virginia women seeking an abortion, they received a pep talk from Congressman Eric Cantor who knows a thing or two about using political power to push a radical agenda that has little to do with why Virginians elected him. 

"Meeting with Eric Cantor may be the most appropriate way for Virginia Republicans to prepare to try and force invasive and medically unnecessary ultrasounds on Virginia women," said DPVA Executive Director David Mills. "If anyone understands taking power with a mandate to focus on jobs and ignoring it to pursue a divisive and distracting social agenda it's him. 


"Bob McDonnell and his state colleagues may have also taken the opportunity to ask Cantor how to cope with the national wave of condemnation they are facing for their extreme attacks, not only on Virginia women but also on voters and all Virginians who are waiting for Republicans to remember they need good jobs, quality public schools and safe and adequate transportation infrastructure."
