The GOP-led legislature passed House Bill 302 on Tuesday in a special session, making West Virginia the second state to pass a restrictive abortion bill after the US
Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.The ban goes into effect immediately, with the bill's criminal penalties to take effect in 90 days.This story is breaking and will be updated.
Women have a right to there choice. Not men - not male legislators.
Thank God!!! You ppl are having a Meltdown! You want to kill your babies! Gods creation how pathetic to choose murder a baby
Prohibition on baby murdering…how is that controversial?
Men controlling womens lives again.
I would love to see CNN put a program on the air that would tell us why there is a need for abortion. Contraceptives are available to anyone. Of course, I'm sure abstinence is like a 4 letter word, but it works
PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH “RIDE THE DRAGON” ON TUBI ABOUT OBIDEN BEING OWNED BY CHINA ASKING WITH HIS KID JOHN KERRY, MR AND MR OBAMA AND THE CLINTON’S. A LEVEL OF CORRUPTION THAT PUTS ANY MOBSTER TO SHAME
Innocent lives are saved!
White, rich, wealthy, racist people exposed at Martha’s Vineyards kicking colored immigrants out and deporting them ! Please protest on the island of Martha’s Vineyard and right off the island of Martha’s Vineyard to get low income housing and section 8 housing on the island !
Thank GOD !
Please be our voice! Mahsa_Amini 22 years old Iranian woman was brutally beaten to death, after being arrested by the moral police for the crime of wearing bad hijab
Look at the crazy people screaming because babies are going to be born instead of murdered
Excellent that’s what a civilized society does ,it protects the unborn innocent human beings
These politicians need to get out of my gynecology visits and mind their own business. Or maybe we should monitor prostate exams and vasectomies hmmmmmm food for thought!
If you want a abortions on demand, go live in a blue state!
The USA is on its way out. Good while it lasted.
So they are really making their own laws that fit wealthy people if poor people don't start going to the poles these Republicans are going to turn this country upside down and inside out
Why is he even making exceptions, life is life
At least there’s an exception 🤷♂️
Perfect!
There is no justice in Iran, girls are killed for their hair, like Taliban and ISIS, we ask you to help us, we swear by everything you worship مهسا امینی خواهر همه ی ماست امیرحسین_خادمی مهسا_امینی MahsaAmini
How are women supposed to prove rape or incest? It will be super hard to do so they will be forced to have these unwanted babies.
Good
The penalties are against the abortion provider, not the woman seeking the abortion. But saying that doesn't fit the narrative, does it?
White women tall messed up voting for these white men whom are fking y’all over
Lol lol I can hardly wait to see what America will look like it 5 years. I don't think it will be a pretty picture
Maternal morbidity is so high in America, we are going to see both the unwanted pregnancy die as well as the woman who was forced to carry. is a great service and hopefully everyone can use it
So those attending college in west Virginia should rethink about attending in this state and other states. Don't move to these and other similar states. Same with jobs. Show these states that you don't agree with these laws.
Awesome
Cruel. Vile.
Then again this is West Virginia!
The future belongs to Democrats. Women in abortion-banning states should stop having sex until their men get vasectomies. Then the laws will change back.
Sucks for the women of WV. Guess they shouldn’t vote Republican.
This is terrible....more paths toward the reality of the Handmaid's Tale. To me, ppl that push these bans on abortion are pushing their religious beliefs. Not cool! This is suppose to be land that ACCEPTS all beliefs & religions..not a 1-way road.

The USA is a dump. A no-go country for people who believe in real freedom and real democracy.
This is just the beginning of assaults on everyone's freedoms. It's a test case by the right to see how much they can get away with. VOTE BLUE or lose your rights.
My BODY. My CHOICE. This entire world has gone crazy and you can not blame OUR PAST or the past President. This is a democratic hate that has finally splintered open. Ya'll seen Stranger Things? We are in the Upside Down!
It’s simple don’t be a whore n close ya legs.. remember safe sex is the best sex cause you don’t want the late text saying that I am late text.. Lil Wayne
We need to vote out all politicians who want total control over women’s reproductive lives!!! I am not sure what they get out of it but it is NOT reverence for life! Otherwise they would be against the death penalty and respect Mother Earth which they don’t.
The laziest job in Korea is the media, copying and distributing other people's writings. 97% do. Media Analyzing prices, national defense, diplomatic disasters, etc. and ignoring the information to the public, just flattering the prosecution
Abortion is a human right.
)¢
Lets pray & Hope for the Best
Good for them. Hopefully all States follow and pass a similar law.
GREAT NEWS ABORTION IS MURDER
Notice that the majority of states enacting bans need them the most. The world would be ok without more of you guys. Take Lindsey Graham, for example.
Next the women of the USA will vote to give up there right to vote
For the women saying men should be charged too, you hypocrites. When deciding what to do with your body, aka the abortion, you literally screamed that men had no say in the matter. Now you want the man involved in a penalty because you couldn't close your legs? Hypocrites!
Pi pp nj
Why did abortion ever become such an opinion based action. I don't like it, but I know that there are times when it is needed. I can't imagine the hurt that anti abortion people cause. While holding up signs, and and a young adult drives by them while they hold their sign
Of course it would be a shit hole state like WV. Poor and uneducated where too many people are missing teeth, smoke and practice incest.
Good
Fuck.
Women should be free!
Great news for West By God Virginia. I hope other states follow with West Virginia
What if people weren't ready to become parents They not allowed to have sex
Love this. Big win for life. Down with irresponsibile behavior
Boo! 🍅
let the child live .. noble ideal
Define “certain”
pregnancy is a Choice, unlike cancer
As the law states abortion only for rape/incest and medical situations that’s reasonable and for others if they still opt for abortion other than what’s stated they are selfish people unwilling to face consequences and take responsibility of their own actions, no morals.
If you don’t want to have a baby just be more responsible folks, and if comes in your life treasure the life as babies are God’s blessings. Your sacrifice of raising a child bears good fruit in the end. It’s The most beautiful job in the world.
JimJusticeWV Thank goodness for West Virginia! Without them we would never know just how much more evolved much of the world has become. westvirginia I'm sorry for all of the big words
No one in that picture has to even worry about getting pregnant. Would bet most are lesbian
just be pro mine your business and most issues would be solved
Good job Governor!
Great news! Praise God!
Choose life and responsibility
Awesome
When someone shouldve been BJ
Going back in time for womens rights….so sad for America. I’m sure men won’t like it if they don’t have the right to use their “thingy” whenever they want. There should be a law for that then. Let’s be fair, it causes the pregnancies.
That’s Awesome!!!! 👍👍👍
Nationwide 75% of abortion patients are poor (1/2) or low income (another 1/4 are within 100-199% of FPL). 6 in 10 already got kids. West Virginia has one of the highest poverty rates in US & also tops the list for drug addiction. This will create more poverty, pain, despair, etc
C’mon… just another excuse to overpopulate the world, to hold power over a certain group, to claim justice. I hate this planet.
His name is Justice and he did this to women ? Men should NEVER decide what a woman should do or not do. Abortion is a very private decision between a woman and her doctor.
Americans voted for Trump so this is what America gets!
AWFUL..
Good.
These states are not screening the citizen’s majority, they think this a political ploy gone wrong…
Amen. Thank you.
Just because it's your body doesn't mean that only you have the right to terminate life I'm glad that an intelligent law has been passed on abortion
I don't see a problem here. It covers mother endangerment, rape, and incest. You could also not get pregnant in the first place. Net win for babies. I like the idea of not murdering babies.
White liberals need abortion to hold onto black votes. Professional black women should abort their kids more than welfare mothers. Lowering average black IQ will create more government dependent voting blacks. Important for Biden and his like. Keep blacks dumb for white liberals!
'allows exceptions for cases of rape or incest.... The incident will need to be reported to law enforcement...' **Nobody** is worried about the unintended consequences (false criminal allegations against men)? Or fathers who want the baby? It's clear women don't matter. So men?
'A person other than a licensed medical professional who performs an abortion in violation of the law would be subject to a felony and up to 10 years in prison.' QUESTION: what penalties for a licensed medical professional who violates this law?
Why don’t women just withhold sex until the men in power reverse this decision? If they don’t have the authority to make decisions for the own bodies, withdraw sex and use a vibrator. Make a stand!
Why does West Virginia make some of the most dumbest laws in the country. Isn’t it no wonder this state is the least educated and the most poorest state in the nation.
disgusting
Imagine being so angry that babies will live. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Great news God bless that governor
Ask him when did he become Jesus deciding on others body parts
Love
I thought conservatives were against government control and regulations.
If you don't approve then VOTE him out! Democracy works when your side wins? That's called fascism! WestVirginia AbortionBan
Democrats can sit back and relax. Republicans are doing their campaigning for them.
Hero
Great news!
The people will have the final say votethemout
I want to see a bill where a man rapes a woman and immediately gets sterilized
That's A good step
Oh how I used to love visiting West Virginia and spending my hard earned money. Another crazy state to stay clear of.
From a Canadian this is disgraceful
In human
Sad day for those in West Virginia. Women have right with their own bodies. I am too old to have children and would never have an abortion: it is not my right to tell another women what they should or should not do.
Good for them.
😡
Some of us evolved from apes to where we are today, others didn't make it quite so far.
Gotta keep them worker bees popping out so the rich can stay rich and corrupt.
Thank God
The Republican need to control the lives and bodies of millions of people who aren't them is disgusting. The American people deserve freedom.
Country Roaaaaaads Take me Hooooooome !!!
This makes me sick! America is supposed to set an example, instead they stooping to the lowest of lows all because they want white women to have more babies! women we must stop this. Humanity is counting on us!
Ok? And?
Because West Virginia’s governors sister is also his wife. So, this makes sense.
Good
Abortion means death for women who will die having a quack in an alley perform butchery on them like it was before Roe v Wade. Women VOTE BLUE, vote for your rights! Listen to the Abortion song below:
This Governor needs some baby boxes in his home yard and office to drop off all those unwanted babys that other children and wemon are being forced to have due to his horrible decision. Only seem fair he should help take care of them. Don't forget the judges and other governors
'Liberal' = selfless. 'Conservative' = selfish.
Seriously, it's not a woman's fault if protection doesn't work 100% there's plenty of children in foster care without families to call home too, let's make the situation we already have worse then what it already is
This is BS!
Tehran now: death to the dictator✊🏿
Republicans are in real trouble come November and they deserve what comes their way
Did not mean to hit the like button I do not like this comment 😡
LMAO.. the poorest state in the country with a population boom. What could go wrong..
that governor is a🤡. and this is DISGUSTING
Where is the man’s responsibility in all this? Can we now force vasectomies on men since we are obviously full of knowledge on this topic just as they are on my uterus 🧐
All that will happen is Democrat candidates will start an aggressive campaign begging for money. The whole system is a grift. Burn it down.
American people especially using your citizens not only are they put in a bad on abortion they want to get rid of Medicare and social security everyone over 65 will lose it all Republicans Independence and Democrats all you Americans over 65 will lose it all blame the Republicans
Well, abortion *is* murder. Any gun toters in WV need to realize that they have ethe same indifference to human life as the pro-abortion/pro-choice people.
Unbelievable!!! Another man deciding what women can do with their bodies. Where does this madness end?
Discusting that a 'male' who can never experience what a 'woman' goes through gets to make this decision.
You get what you voted for Virginia
Aren't all pregnancies in WV incest?
It would be funny if the number of abortion didn't drop because the rape/incest exemption.
Come visit your Canadian Cousins stay for a week or so until you want to go back.
This is fantastic. Good on him!
Michigan puts it to the vote in November. Vote YES on Proposal 3 in Michigan to secure women's rights on healthcare! 🌊
Good
We need more news about the immigration crisis! Borders are open!!!
these politicians need to stop saying it’s to save lives we all know it’s to keep women poor and uneducated and to breed the next generation of poor uneducated voters keep them stupid and poor is the republican way.
And we are to depend on the legal system to prosecute the rapists? They haven't done a stellar job thus far.
Freedom my ass. The fetus brain isn't sentient until 4-6 months. Fake patriots act like they care about babies when you know that's bs. This whole 'ill make you responsible' bs is as anti freedom as you can get. Man just when I start to hate liberals more y'all cons come along
Abortion is a human right! Fightforhumanrights
Abortion should not be a form of birth control. This law seems to make sure that’s the case. If you are raped, if the mother could die from caring the baby, if the baby is dead then have an abortion.
Slavery
VOTE! We’re not victims. We collectively put these people in power and we (taxpayers) pay their Salary. VOTE
If you are a woman voting Republican you are choosing abuse and second class citizenship.
America needs to make abortion legal for anyone that needs it. Or come visit us in Canada, eh! 💜💜 Totally legal here!!! 😎
WTF is wrong with men that hey feel like they have to control women. I am sickened once again. Leave my body a alone
More than 460 graves have already been found in the de-occupied city of Izyum, Kharkiv region. russia killed people and simply dumped the bodies into a pit. This is the terror that must never happen. We are calling to recognize russia as a terrorist state.
Maybe it wouldn't be such a big problem if birth control was practiced. Accountability, people. Accountability.
In essence and in practice, we are talking civil war. Is there ANY aspects that US is united upon and the whole country speaks with one voice? If so, what?
May God bless him. 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for God has heard the cry 😭 of those babies in their mother’s womb. They each have a purpose, a divine plan in this world.
Great. More blue state dollars going to West VA to subsidize welfare for these poor children.
Awesome. Great news!! Which state is next!
Wtf
Men have the privilege of privacy when it comes to choosing their doctors and going to them for any reason. Women do not. Say Hello to American equality.

All I see here is a bunch of woman screaming and cheering for their ability to murder babies. Sick. The woman on the right would have a hard time getting a look from my autistic nephew Jimmy
They also forget that all of the Republicans voters will be affected as well......
A mass burial of 440 bodies found in a recently recaptured Izium. Terrorussia leaves death everywhere it goes, committing genocide of peaceful citizens. Yet it is still not recognized as a terrorist state. How many lives should it take to acknowledge? RussiaIsATerroristState
💪
There was the 18th Amendment. There was the Dred Scott decision. There was the 3/5 Compromise. Overturning Roe v. Wade will be seen the same way in American history. We make mistakes.
Women wanted equal rights and how they have them. Just like the man, they have no say.
I’m soo tired of this patriarcal society. Seriously!
'West Virgina Mountain mama' with kids she can't feed no good ol'man smoking crack and a black eye. Now you bury the woman. Creepy state, 'not my country representative'
So what you're saying is: No abortions of convenience? Only in cases where there is rape, incest, or an actual medical threat to the mother? Because phrased that way, that actually seems pretty reasonable.
Thanks W. Virginia so much for the midterms
People in the comments.... My body My choice.... Same people vaccine mandates are necessary
Another third world state. Perhaps the governor would like a law passed that all men are required to get a vasectomy at the age of 39
Disgusting.
Go to Cali, Newsom has drive thru express abortions now.
So to reiterate: In the case of rape or incest or where there is medical need... abortions are fine. Is what has been signed in West Virginia. Propaganda Headlines Phrasing Language Media
That is how it should be everywhere
Total bullshit!!!
I guess I should be labeled a Libertarian, because I really don't see how what some woman does with her pregnancy is any of my business.
Brad_D_Smith all your work helping the state won’t matter when they ban women’s healthcare. Please do something. This is appalling.
GOPWarOnWomen
There should be a bill that will criminalize men for discharging active sperm during sex that is not intended for having babies. Just mho.
Tough governance
I'll take 'Ladies no one wants to impregnate for $400 Alex'
ARCHAIC
🙆
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬 Patriarchal misogyny!
But if we're all God's children then it's all incest.. boom.
If politicians really believe that abortion is murder, why don't they charge the mothers with conspiracy and accessory?
Excellent, civilized. Most abortions are the result of irresponsibility. Now lets put emphasis on sexual and reproductive education to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
i think this is a good compromise im pro choice and liberal but there’s no way we can make one group happy without a compromise and the fact they can still get a abortion through cases of rape and incest or medical issues
I find it amazing that women would continue to vote for Republicans despite Republicans constantly saying they were going to do this, so I can only assume women, as a group, don't really care all that much about this... Maybe that'll change, someday... (shrug)
Women should leave West Virginia
Hatchetation!
I am pretty liberal when it comes down to abortion but my concerns over these anti-abortion laws aren't completely hinged on the ideas of abortion but rather implications it can have on other things such as fertility treatments
America takes another step backwards
Disgraceful
Seems to be one of the fairer bans for those in the middle on this issue. Accounts for most of the things that the extreme pro choicers use in whataboutism.
poor American women even don't have right to control their uterus..is that u call 'human rights' in USA..WTF!!
This is horrible, dehumanizing, and UNTHINKABLE during my child bearing years. I don't care what your religious beliefs are or your sense of right and wrong. You have no right to put that on someone else. Any Fetophile who comes after me for this? I'll block you.
Here is an idea: stop having sex before marriage, get on birth control, or use protection. Take some responsibility!
The law also prohibits the use of telemedicine to prescribe any drug that would induce an abortion.
If y'all thought the sheep were nervous before...
As red states continue to slide backwards in nearly every way possible, the rest of the continues to move forward into a better future. Hopefully one day elections will help red states catch up to the rest of us.
The ban goes into effect immediately , with the bill's criminal penalties to take effect in 90 days .
Hope you're giving these children, food stamps, financial aid for school etc.
2 min before passing bill:
Thank You. StopInfanticide
VOTE BLUE!🌊🤯
Good! It’s time America stops legalizing the murder of babies!
at what point would you all suggest abortion no longer be an option?
Disgusting
DISGUSTING
Shame on him
Hypocrites
LOL America
Didn't think West Virginia could get any shittier
