Personhood legislation
 

Please reconsider this bill.  It is a gross disservice to women (and their male partners) who struggle with the decision to terminate a pregnancy, and a shameful invasion of personal privacy. To declare zygotes and gametes people is offensive in the extreme.  DO NOT ALLOW THIS BILL TO BECOME LAW.  The majority of Virginians oppose this type of measure and those who vote for it are placing the religious convictions of a minority above the very human issues of the rest of Virginia's citizens.
