Virginia Democrat state legislator Dawn Adams said she only supported the state’s proposed abortion bill because she made a mistake and didn’t read it. She said she was sorry for lapsing on her due diligence.
“I vaguely remember signing on to this,” Adams said. “And I did this in solidarity with my colleague and as a symbolic gesture for a woman’s right to choose.”
She explained that she thought the bill only reversed what she called “onerous additions to the code made in 2012,” known as the Virginia ultrasound bill.
While Tran’s bill did that, “it sought to do much more,” Adams said. It would have ended the requirement for two extra doctors to approve the abortion, and remove the words “substantially and irremediably” from the law.
When the pushback came, Adams reconsidered.
