[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 4702840, member: 54375"] "[URL='https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title18.2/chapter4/article9/']In Virginia, [/URL]a woman can choose to obtain an abortion through the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, up to 28 weeks from her last menstrual period. After that point, abortions are legal if they happen in a hospital and three physicians certify that “the continuation of the pregnancy is likely to result in the death of the woman or substantially and irremediably impair the mental or physical health of the woman.” The law also requires physicians to make “measures for life support for the product of such abortion” available if there is “any clearly visible evidence of viability” after an attempted abortion. The bill Virginia lawmakers considered in 2019 proposed multiple changes to state laws addressing abortion, including the provision regulating the procedure in the third trimester. The proposal would have lowered the number of physicians required to authorize a third-trimester abortion from three to one and remove the “substantial and irremediable” threshold in the law. At the time of the debate, the [URL='https://www.richmond.com/news/plus/virginia-has-become-the-epicenter-of-the-third-trimester-abortion/article_c3c93e87-5db3-53a7-a1a5-7bddc0bfbeb7.html']Richmond Times-Dispatch[/URL] reported that there were two confirmed third-trimester abortions performed in Virginia since 2000."
