CHARLESTON, WV: "Just a day into the annual legislative session, West Virginia lawmakers started moving a bill that would ban abortions at 15 weeks, just like a Mississippi law under review by the U.S. Supreme Court. In West Virginia, House Bill 4004 came up for consideration during this year’s first meeting of the House Health and Human Resources Committee. Committee members went through about an hour of detailed, sometimes emotional and often somber discussion before the majority adopted the bill in a voice vote. The bill still has a long path through the West Virginia Legislature. It now goes to the House Judiciary Committee before any consideration by the full House or the state Senate. The House Health Committee today also adopted HB4005, making it illegal to transport and sell aborted fetal organs in the state. The bill, which now goes to the Judiciary Committee, would run parallel to a similar federal ban applying to state lines. ACLU West Virginia and other organizations objected to both, saying the bills are intended to end access to lifesaving healthcare."
