Shame on You, Commonwealth of Virginia!
Tuesday’s votes are counted – and the majority of voting Virginians have spoken.
What began as a Colony in 1607, and dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ by the landing party upon reaching the shore, seems to have abandoned the belief that life is sacred.
All three of the proposed amendments to the Virginia state constitution passed. The first, cleverly presented as reproductive rights, contained confusing wording that obscured the provision that a young girl or woman can have an abortion up to the moment of delivery. Currently, abortion is considered “legal” in Virginia until the third trimester. This amendment will codify abortion into constitutional law, including minors having an abortion without parental knowledge.
Amendment two removes the 2006 provision in the Virginia constitution that states marriage is between a man and a woman.
Virginia is the birthplace of inspiring Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason, Edmund Randolph and George Washington – whom acknowledged the God of Creation and the Christian religion as their guiding principles.
Thomas Jefferson wrote several important things about life: “The Bible is the cornerstone of Liberty.” In this statement, he is acknowledging that the Ten Commandments are the foundation of a civil society. Commandment Number Six, “Thou shall not murder,” is God’s way of reminding us that life is precious.
During the writing of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
With this in mind, I’m wondering…where would the Founding Fathers stand on the proposed amendments to the Virginia constitution?
I’m in agreement with Thomas Jefferson when he wrote, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”

Is this meant to be an op-ed or a news article? Surely, it is an op-ed and should be labeled as such.

Speaking the Truth..well written and needed to be said. America is turning to something that in my 56 years of life I am no longer able to recognize nor comprehend. Being born at the tail end of the Vietnam war, I was raised to love our country, respect all and recognize evil for what it is and where it comes from. We are seeing a generation where this is no longer true, where they have no idea what evil and hard times actually are. I will continue to pray for our country and especially our youth as they navigate a world full of deception and lies.

I am through with this rag as it has turned to their own opinions rather than reporting news.
this article was not classified as an op ed.
I want to see hard reporting on what council is doing. We get 2nd hand tidbits about that.
Pulaski could have millions of tax dollars coming in if years ago they would have granted Walmart to put the Dublin supercenter across the street from their original Pulaski location (BimmerWorld) is. But no the neighbors behind it didn’t want the truck traffic.
By the way this is some of the land that town council bought for $1,000,000 an outrageous price per acre and turned around and gave to SHAH.
Born and raised in this town and I remember the Allison Farm on that property.

Yes, the people of Virginia should be ashamed. Whoever voted yes for these amendments and for Democrats should be ashamed. They do not know what they have done!!
But I trust in Jesus, not our government.
