‘It’s cruel’: the last southern refuge for abortion rights might soon fall

Virginia is the only southern state that hasn't restricted abortion post-Roe. Is that about to change?

By the time Chasity Dunans learned about her pregnancy, she had already lost the right to end it.

She had gotten her period in July, but towards the end of the month the 23-year-old mother of one started to have heartburn and wrenching stomach pains. She told herself: you're not pregnant, you're just sick. When the pain didn't stop, she gave in and saw a doctor.
