HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) – Supporters of the “Virginia Right to Contraception Act” gathered in Harrisonburg this morning.

If signed, the bill would codify the right to use FDA-approved forms of contraception.

Harrisonburg Mayor Deanna Reed joined officials from Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia and Americans for Contraception at the Democratic Headquarters on West Market Street to call Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign the bill into law before tomorrow’s deadline.

“We can and must protect our status as the last safe haven for reproductive rights in the South,” said Mayor Reed.

Harrisonburg’s Senator Mark Obenshain and Delegate Tony Wilt both voted against the Right to Contraception Act in the Virginia General Assembly earlier this year.

Youngkin has until 11:59 PM tomorrow night to act on the bill.
