I just emailed Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia. He has the despicable mandatory ultrasound-waiting-period bill on his desk to veto or sign by Friday, March 9.
Feel free to copy/paste any of this as applicable to your situation and do likewise.
Email Governor McDonnell
Representing myself as I am was wiser than anything else I think I could do. I decided to have my children, and gave one up for adoption (who found us as an adult) because it was the right decision for me (and for her) - but I will defend to the utmost anyone's right to have control over her body, and to make the correct decision for her own body and situation. No one - especially any male - has the right to decide what is best for us.
The text of my email is below.
Email Subject: A caring mother of five
As a caring mother who has five wonderful children, I am asking you to uphold the rights of women in the Commonwealth to reasonable access to necessary health care, without burdensome regulations designed to foster confusion and intrusion into the private realm of matters that are only between a woman and her doctor.
Veto HB 462. If this measure is passed, it will most certainly not withstand the first court challenge, and will waste unnecessary taxpayer dollars, as well as hours of valuable time, better spent protecting the rights of citizens to reasonable, consistent, and necessary health care.
Thank you.
