Yesli Vega Under Fire for Suggesting Only God Can Decide to Save the Life of the Mother

Vega in VA-07 gets another slew of bad headlines for leaked audio where she suggests doctors should not save pregnant women’s lives

Republican Yesli Vega (VA-07) is under fire again for newly reported audio of her saying abortion should be completely banned and suggesting that only God can decide to save the life of the mother.

Vega has repeatedly refused to answer questions from voters and reporters about her extreme position on reproductive rights, like her pledge to vote for laws to “protect innocent life from conception to natural death” – but what she says when she thinks the cameras are off says it all.

VPM: Yesli Vega questions whether liberal states’ abortion laws are ‘acceptable

“In the recording obtained exclusively by VPM News, Vega speaks to an unidentified questioner at a May 21 event in Spotsylvania County, in the runup to the GOP primary. Anticipating the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Vega said that in states with conservative governors, “abortion’s not gonna be an option.”
