The bill also provides that such limit on extradition shall not apply when the person who is subject to such demand for extradition by another state was physically present in the demanding state at the time of the commission of the alleged offense and thereafter fled from such state.

   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.
