Just last week I posted a piece about my home state of Virginia and it’s stand on a number of the most significant issues in our nation’s history since slavery.  Richmond is changing. When I go home to Virginia to visit family I often feel like the state is becoming more diverse, tolerant, liberal and open.  Richmond, the capital city, now has some great bars and clubs, ethnic restaurants, a performing arts scene.  But seated there is a state legislature that does things like those described in this report.

On a 66-32 vote, the state’s House of Delegates has passed legislation to define life as beginning at conception.
After a passionate debate, the House also voted 63-36 to pass legislation to require women to undergo ultrasounds before abortion.

Why, Virginia, why?

If I felt they were truly competent to do so, I would congratulate the House of Delegates for resolving complex theological issues that have vexed the greatest philosophers and theologians worldwide for centuries, and doing what is truly best for the state. Instead of this post, I’d be drafting letters to the state senators urging them to pass similar legislation.
But this legislation is not good public policy. For most of the delegates who supported it, doing so was a political move, not one motivated by conviction. Those who were motivated by religious conviction I would caution to remember that separation of church and state exists for a reason, and that they have every right to their opinion. They ought to run their own lives according to this conviction, and argue it forcefully in the public sphere so that others will see their point and behave accordingly. But they are wrong to legislate based on it. The argument for legislation must be made based on the public good, not simply recourse to religion, particularly not in a multicultural society with freedom of religion.
It is also cruel legislation. Is there not enough emotional trauma associated with unwanted pregnancy, that the state does not have to interfere by imposing unnecessary conditions. But hey, if the heaven’s above are telling you what to do….
I’ve really got no more to say!
