You Spoke; They Listened: Update on HB 2002

Last Monday, at a public hearing with the House Judiciary Committee, people gathered to share their stories and voice their opposition to House Bill 2002, which infringed upon young women’s right to terminate a pregnancy without parental involvement. Private citizens joined ACLU-WV and other civil liberties organizations like WV FREE and WV Citizen Action Group in addressing members of the committee.

Protect WV Women

If you talk to the backers of House Bill 2002, the latest in the never-ending stream of attacks on reproductive rights, you’ll likely hear a lot about all the ways in which the bill protects vulnerable young women. In fact, that is the opposite of the bill’s intention.

Stand With WV Women

The West Virginia Legislature passed Senate Bill 10, a constitutionally suspect abortion ban. Please take a moment to ask the governor to veto this dangerous legislation.

HB 2568 Public Hearing and ACLU WV Comments

An extreme 20-week abortion bill was introduced yesterday in the WV House of Delegates. The legislation, HB 2568, fails to protect women who have real medical emergencies.

Demonstration Against WV HB 2153

The West Virginia legislature has just introduced HB 2153. This legislation is even more extreme than the 2015 version of last year’s 20 week abortion ban that passed both the House and Senate only to be vetoed by Governor Tomblin.
