| Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV)
|
Claims to be pro-life in a socially conservative state.
|
On March 30, 2017, Manchin voted against eliminating an Obama-era regulation that would have prohibited states from blocking Planned Parenthood funds.[1] In April 2017, he endorsed Planned Parenthood, which funds abortions, the legalized murder of the unborn, by holding up a sign with a Planned Parenthood official stating "I stand with Planned Parenthood."[2][3][4][5][6]
|
| Governor Earl Ray Tomblin (D-WV)
|
Claims to be pro-life in a socially conservative state.
|
Twice vetoed a bill, in 2014 and 2015, that would have banned all abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy, citing "constitutionality issues".[7][8] The second time, the West Virginia legislature, which was GOP-controlled, overrode the veto, ultimately making the bill law.[9]
