(The Center Square) – Sweeping action on reproductive rights bills and abortion measures is looking unlikely in the Virginia General Assembly this session – a reality of the politically-divided make-up of the state legislature. But advocates are hopeful certain measures surrounding reproductive health protections might have enough bipartisan support to advance this year.

During Tuesday’s crossover deadline – the final day for bills other than the budget amendments to advance out of their original chamber – lawmakers in the state Senate considered SB 852, a bill that would prohibit search warrants for the seizure of menstrual health data from an app or electronic device. The bill received bipartisan support among lawmakers in the Senate Tuesday, passing out of the chamber in a 31-9 vote with several Republicans in support.
