Soros Funded Prosecutor in Va. Will NOT Enforce Abortion Laws ‘No Matter What the Law…Says’

Prosecutors are responsible for protecting the law, and penalizing those who violate it. Some prosecutors say that this duty does not apply to the killing of an innocent child if it is against the law. 

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. Wade, Descano has no plans to actually do his job and prosecute people who break the law. 

Descano, in a guest essay published by The New York Times shared his belief that women should be allowed to ignore 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 what Virginia law says, I will not charge a woman with having an abortion.

Damn. It’s so ridiculous. It is law. Period.

Descano is known for his radical views. When he was fighting for his role, left-wing extremist and billionaire George Soros donated $392,000 to Descano’s campaign. 

Descano encouraged his fellow prosecutors to follow him.

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. 

What was the point of prosecutors being able to choose not to prosecute someone based upon their personal preference? It’s not legal. 

Descano is only the arbiter for laws he accepts. 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.
