reporter: that s not how louise glc bill is dead on arrival. any abortion bill has passed through the education health committee which she is the chair and decides what is or what is not considered by the full senate. i will not agree to anything less that what is codified in the cold and that is for 20 weeks. if the governor is trying to put a 15 week and it won t get to committee. you can block us in your committee. you have the power as the chair back senator lucas says she will do everything in her power to make sure virginia remains a safe haven for access to abortion. governor youngkin and republicans are starting a 15 week ban proposal and many would like you to go further. this means virginia will be a key test case as a state-by- state patchwork of abortion laws emerges across the country.
