West Virgnia Lawmakers Approve Near-Total Ban on Abortion

HeadlineSep 14, 2022

In West Virginia, lawmakers have passed a near-total ban on abortion. If Republican Governor Jim Justice signs the bill as expected, West Virginia will become the second state, after Indiana, to enact a new abortion ban following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe. Republican lawmakers said they hope the bill results in the closure of West Virginia’s only abortion clinic. Indiana’s near-total abortion ban goes into effect on Thursday.
