meet state senator mark observe en shane. the republican nominee for attorney general. shouldn t be surprised that the sfat that brought us the transvaginal ultrasound and attempt to put abortion clinics out of business, the highest law enforcement official in virginia. a man who would have penalized women after a miscarriage. in 2009, he wrote this bill. that would have made a woman who had a miscarriage guilty of a misdemeanor if she failed to report the loss of her child and the location of the fetal remains to the police. he s also the person who rather than votes confirm an openly gay judge abstained from voting. along with 11 other social conservatives in the virginia state. this seems like too much, governor, that this is the one step too far. there are principal positions about being pro life. this is one step too far. i think that s the real question. virginians weren t balanced.
