Soros-Funded Prosecutor in VA Says He WON’T Enforce Abortion Laws ‘No Matter What’

Prosecutors are responsible for protecting the law, and punishing those who violate it. However, some prosecutors believe that the duty of a prosecutor doesn’t apply if the law is being broken in order to murder an innocent child. 

Nearly two years ago Steve Descano took an oath of office as a Virginia prosecutor to “protect my community from those who broke the law.” Virginia is likely to criminalize abortion following the overturn of Roe V. Wade but Descano, who represents Fairfax County, Va., claimed that he would “never prosecute a woman” for aborting her child, according to The New York Times.

Republican Virginia governor. Glenn Youngkin is reportedly “‘staunchly, unabashedly’ against abortion.” If Youngkin decides to criminalize abortion following the potential overturning of Roe V. WadeDescano does not intend to do his job, which is to prosecute those who violate the law. 

A guest essay The TimesDescano shares his conviction that women should be allowed to disregard the law. 

So when the court’s draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked earlier this month, I committed to never prosecute a woman for making her own health care decisions. This means: No matter the Virginia law, I won’t prosecute any woman who has an abortion or is suspected of having one.

Damn. When did we ever make it okay to change the law so that it suits our needs? It is law. Period.

Descano’s radical agenda is not surprising. When he was fighting for his role, left-wing extremist and billionaire George Soros donated $392,000 to Descano’s campaign. 

Descano encouraged others to follow his example.

Descano deemed it “heartbreaking” when women don’t have the “right” to abort their children.

We make decisions every day about where we will spend our resources. This includes deciding which cases align with our values and priorities, which plea bargains to pursue, and which offenses merit our attention. We are the judges of law when it comes to the charges against individuals.

Like most of the left, Descano claimed that banning the murder of babies is an “Orwellian infringement” and prosecuting women for having an abortion is an “intrusion” on their personal lives. Was there any intrusion on the child whose life was ended by an abortion? 

This isn’t the first time Descano decided to disobey the law. A few years ago he decided to “stop charging adults with simple possession of marijuana” when at the time it was illegal in Virginia. 

Is it now acceptable for prosecutors not to pursue cases based on personal preferences? It’s not legal. 

Descano appears to be only the arbitrator of laws with whom he is in agreement. He fully commits himself to not being a “hard-line” prosecutor. Seems like he’s got commitment issues to the thing he literally took an oath to stand by – the L A W.
