Gilmore: the pro-life candidate
December 16, 2006As Governor, Jim Gilmore was a strong ally of the Pro-Life Movement.
• Banned partial birth abortion in Virginia
• Enacted parental consent legislation
• Enacted a 24-hour waiting period
“When it comes to the most difficult decision a woman must make — whether or not to have an abortion — I believe she should be fully informed about the medical implications of that decision and have an opportunity to reflect on that information. That’s why I support legislation to require informed consent and establish a 24-hour waiting period for abortion.”
