Newly elected state Sen. Dick Black once called birth control "baby pesticide,"
Newly elected state Sen. Dick Black once called birth control "baby pesticide," and veteran anti-choice Del. Bob Marshall has vowed to introduce "personhood" legislation in 2012, which could not only outlaw abortion but severely limit access to contraception and in-vitro fertilization. And it doesn't stop here. Under the new legislature, the HPV cancer vaccine could be repealed, Planned Parenthood could face defunding, and miscarriages could be prosecutable.

What can the women of the commonwealth do as we face an onslaught of attacks on our bodies and rights? It is critical to stay informed about what is being introduced in the General Assembly, be active in your community, and keep regular communication with your legislators. Planned Parenthood will be fighting these bills, but we need your help.

In a time of economic uncertainty, people need more access to health care services, not less. So, members of the General Assembly: The women of Virginia are watching.

1. LOL- I'm sorry that's just so absurd it's laughable. Wonder what he's doing to stop poverty.
Because if there's such a thing as "baby pesticide", poverty is it. Lemme guess, probably not so fucking high on the list for him, eh?

5. Once this is put in place in each state and women understand what they lose they will
vote No. When they realize they want to prosecute ladies who lose babies unintentional women will vote not. When they realize they want to take a woman's right to birth control they will lose. It is up to all of us to spread the word.

6. Maybe somebody should point out to him that
when he was an adolescent, he murdered billions.

Masturbation is mass murder
Keep your hands to someone else
