Virginia State Senator Christopher Head Delivers Stirring Defense of Unborn Life Amid Legislative Push

Christopher Head’s remarks come at a critical juncture in the Virginia General Assembly, where Republican lawmakers are advancing measures to safeguard the unborn against what they describe as extreme Democratic proposals. The senator highlighted the Protect Life Act, a legislative initiative originating in the Senate aimed at reinforcing protections for preborn children. He contrasted the innocence of the ultrasound experience with the harsh reality of abortion, questioning how society could justify ‘slaughtering’ a child whose heart beats strongly.

Drawing from Genesis, Head recounted God’s response to Cain after the murder of Abel: the ground crying out with Abel’s blood, yet God placing a mark on Cain to protect his life rather than exacting immediate retribution. ‘God said it’s more than I can bear,’ Head noted, illustrating divine value placed on every human life, even in judgment. As a man of faith who opposes the death penalty — one of the tenets of his beliefs — Head argued for consistency: if convicted murderers deserve life, how much more so the innocent unborn?

The senator’s words align with broader Republican efforts in the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates to counter Democratic pushes for enshrining unrestricted abortion rights into the state constitution via House Joint Resolution 1 and similar measures. Recent Senate debates have erupted over amendments for born-alive protections, parental consent for minors, and limits on late-term procedures. Republicans, including Head, warn that Democratic policies could eliminate reasonable safeguards like parental notification, allowing abortions up to birth without oversight.

Head’s advocacy reflects a growing momentum among Virginia conservatives to restore moral clarity to state law. With Democrats controlling both chambers, pro-life bills face uphill battles, but senators like Head remain undeterred, rallying faith communities and families to the cause. ‘Life is precious and made in God’s image,’ Head affirmed, echoing the paramount duty to protect it.

This principled stand serves as a beacon for Virginians committed to traditional values, family, and the Judeo-Christian foundations of the nation. As legislative sessions intensify, Head’s ultrasound story and scriptural wisdom provide a powerful reminder of why the fight for life must prevail over radical ideologies seeking to devalue the most vulnerable.
