VIDEO: WV Gov. Jim Justice signs ‘The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act’ (HB 4007) on 3/2/2020
West Virginians For Life introduced and backed this legislation. We’re thrilled it’s now law, and that WV is yet again making nationwide news with pro-life leadership.

Note: It’s newsworthy that our WV legislators succeeded in bipartisan passage of the very thing federal lawmakers can’t even bring to the floor: actionable protection for babies who survive abortionists’ best efforts to kill them. The Mountain State’s leadership continues to be noticed, and we’re genuinely influencing other states with pro-life values. We’ve got to keep a pro-life President in office and a pro-life majority in the Senate, to keep getting better judges & justices on the bench at all levels. Your pro-life support and vote are needed now more than ever.
WV makes nationwide news again with pro-life leadership
The Christian Post’s national headline reads: “W.Va. governor signs law requiring doctors to help babies born alive after abortion.” It’s newsworthy that our WV legislators succeeded in bipartisan passage of the very thing federal lawmakers can’t even bring to the floor: actionable protection for babies who survive abortionists’ best efforts to kill them. The Mountain State’s leadership continues to be noticed, and we’re genuinely influencing other states with pro-life values.
One of my WV friends responded with, “This is good, but how about we outlaw abortion…period!” That’s definitely the goal. Legal challenges are certain, however, and they would wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court’s door. So long as we lack a majority of justices willing to overturn Roe, each opportunity that SCOTUS turns away from tends to actually make it worse (for example, consider the new “undue burden” standard crafted by the 1992 Casey ruling). Even just last summer the high court overturned dismemberment abortion ban laws such as ours—a WVFL victory, passed in 2016, now wrongfully deemed unconstitutional and unenforceable.
Overturning the bad precedents of Roe is doable, but it will require a willing court. Sadly, indications are it’s not there yet, but we’re making headway. We’ve got to keep a pro-life President in office and a pro-life majority in the Senate, to keep getting better judges & justices on the bench at all levels. Your pro-life support and vote are needed now more than ever.

Joe Biden Wins Super Tuesday, Will Force Americans to Fund Planned Parenthood
Pro-Abortion Joe Biden Wins Big in Super Tuesday States, Finishes Ahead of Bernie Sanders
“Joe Biden, the former pro-abortion Vice President, is winning big … on Super Tuesday, as he is pulling in more delegates than fellow abortion activist Bernie Sanders. Biden won the Virginia and North Carolina Democratic primaries along with contests in Alabama and Tennessee.
“Biden is finishing in many states ahead of Sanders and holds leads in Massachusetts and Oklahoma as well as Arkansas and Minnesota, while Sanders won his home state of Vermont as well as Colorado.
“Sanders hopes to be able to collect a large number of delegates from California and Texas and, with 37% in, Sanders holds a lead in Texas at this time. California has yet to report any results as of this writing.
“Biden has been boosted by two of the top candidates pulling out and supporting him. First Pete Buttigieg dropped out on Sunday. On Monday, Amy Klobuchar called it quits.
“The pro-abortion Democrat presidential candidates have ended their campaigns to coalesce around pro-abortion former Vice President Joe Biden. They want to prevent abortion activist Bernie Sanders from becoming the nominee….”
