The Virginia legislature passed a bill preventing the extradition of VA doctors to states where abortion is illegal—otherwise, e.g. North Carolina could charge a VA doctor with providing an abortion to a NC resident who traveled to VA. The law explicitly says that it doesn't apply to a doctor who has fled another state.
Virginia's governor just vetoed it, saying the bill “is aimed at medical professionals from other states who may be in Virginia and subject to an extradition." Horseshit.
