RICHMOND, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- For the second year in a row, the Republican-led Virginia House of Delegates decided not to vote on an abortion bill.

Delegate Sally Hudson (D-57th) says that this is a major concern for women's reproductive rights. Delegate Rob Bell (R-58th) decided not to vote on an abortion bill, which Hudson says is not a surprise, but this also means they don't see eye-to-eye.

"Delegate Bell and I work together every well on a wide range of issues, but we don't see eye-to-eye on this one. And as chair of the Court's Committee, he has the right to bring that bill up for a vote, and for the second straight year, he's chosen not to. And it's probably because they've seen the polling. The latest statewide poll of Virginia voters shows that less than 30 percent want tighter restrictions on abortions in Virginia,” Hudson said.

Come November, every seat in the General Assembly is up for re-election. Hudson says members of the House, mainly Republicans, are too scared to vote on a controversial bill about abortion due to their seats being on the line.

"I don't know any Democratic delegate who is scared to take a vote on where we stand, on protecting abortion rights. So, I think this is really a question for Republicans. Why are they not willing to bring this bill up for a full vote in the House if it's supposed to be one of their top priorities? That's what not being willing to take a vote really lets you do. It means that you don't have to make your words and actions match,” Hudson said.

She also says that with roughly three weeks left of the General Assembly, voters should pay close attention to what their delegates are doing in Richmond and elect officials who can get things done.
