Press Release
Delegate S. Chris Anders
I need your help to urge our lawmakers and citizens of West Virginia to support HB2461—a critical bill introduced to protect our community and, most importantly, to protect the most innocent, the unborn.
Every day, abortion pills are shipped into our state without proper medical oversight and, in too many cases, without parental notification.
With chemical abortions making up 68% of procedures, this uncontrolled influx not only undermines our core values but also endangers public health.
Even when diluted, these chemicals have been detected in our public water systems, with emerging reports linking them to miscarriages in expectant mothers.
HB2461 makes it illegal to ship these dangerous substances into West Virginia, ensuring that our laws stand firmly in defense of life from conception.
This legislation is essential to:
• Safeguard Life: By preventing the distribution of abortion pills, we protect the most innocent, the unborn, and ensure that every human life is valued from its very beginning.
• Protect Public Health: Stopping the shipment of these chemicals reduces the risk of contamination in our water supply and shields our community from associated health hazards.
I introduced HB2461 because our state must act decisively to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
We owe it to our community—and especially to our unborn children—to prevent the unchecked spread of these harmful substances.
I call on all West Virginians to stand with me in support of HB2461. Let us unite to protect life, preserve our public health, and secure a future where every life is cherished.
Floor Speech in Support of HB 2129- Parents' Bill of Rights
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I rise in strong support of HB 2129 because it affirms a fundamental truth: government was instituted to protect our pre-existing rights—not to grant them, not to restrict them, but to secure them. And among those sacred rights is the right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.
This is not a new concept. It is one of the foundational principles of our society, deeply rooted in our history and our laws. Parents—not bureaucrats, not politicians—know what is best for their children. HB 2129 ensures that this right is not just respected, but protected from unnecessary interference.
I urge my colleagues to stand with families, stand with parental rights, and vote in favor of this bill. Thank you."
Big News: Full Slate of Sponsors for CON Repeal!
Just filled my bill with a full slate of sponsors to fully repeal the Certificate of Need (CON) laws—with no carve-outs!
Why is this so important? Because CON laws are nothing but government red tape that restrict competition, drive up healthcare costs, and limit access to care. These outdated regulations let bureaucrats decide who can open or expand healthcare facilities instead of letting the free market work.
By repealing CON entirely, we will:
Increase competition – More providers mean better services and lower prices.
Lower healthcare costs – When businesses compete, patients win.
Expand access to care – More hospitals, surgery centers, and medical services where they are needed.
End cronyism – No more government protection of big hospitals at the expense of small providers and patients.
It’s time to let the free market work in healthcare. No more government roadblocks. No more special deals. Just competition, lower costs, and better care for West Virginians.
Let's get it done! #HealthcareFreedom #NoMoreCON #WV
