OP - I would avoid conversations with this neighbor in the future. She sounds like a nutty conspiracy theorist.

Yup. Youngkin supporters sure believe the lies and conspiracy theories he pushed - “election integrity”, “CRT”, etc.

I'm not sure about election integrity but they are right that CRT is taught in schools and shouldn't be.

He’s not trying to push a “far-right agenda.” He’s simply going for common sense and a swing back to the reasonable middle.

Nothing about the GOP in 2021 is “reasonable” or “middle”.

I agree, they're pretty left wing. They're on the same road as the democrats, they just take longer to get there.

I don't see reactionaries taking over the GOP anytime soon.

Look how carefully he chooses his words. He’s creating this shiny facade for the GOP.

I've worked with him unfortunately. evangelical, woman hating, racist. just an awful, awful person.

Pre-Trump I was pro-choice moderate.

The take is: Youngkin may have backed away from Trump, but it's the billionaires and elites that run the GOP that are setting up the plan to steal the 2024 election, not Trump. It's the party that's designing gerrymanders to assure white Christian authoritarian minority rule. And the guy made the case that Youngkin embraced all that -- Youngkin took the money from Koch and Heritage billionaires and the GOP corporate interests and the gun companies and fossil fuel companies.

I am not sure if Youngkin himself is an authoritarian. To me he seems more like a dim, born-advantaged private equity guy who might not fully know what the GOP stands for today.
I don't fully see voting for Youngkin as embracing authoritarianism and helping to further climate disaster that will impact our kids future.

My kids will have the chance to get an abortion in VA or MD or another blue state.
Is Youngkin really a step to taking that away?

Op if your greatest concern for your daughters is where they will be able to get abortions, you have totally failed as a parent.

Because women only need abortions if they are immoral sluts, amirite?

And of course, many abortions will take place in states where it is not legal and they will be more dangerous. We have been there before and unbelievably, we seem to heading backwards to the good old days of the "back alley" abortion. Horrible.

Oh please.

This is the mid-Atlantic, not the Deep South or the Dakotas.

Youngkin is not going to ban abortion.

The GOP has no intention of making abortion illegal because they want to keep all the one issue Republicans who are only voting red for this single issue.

Sure they do. Record number of anti-abortion laws in 2021.

This year has been the most restrictive year for abortion access on record, topping 100 new restrictions for the first time in history, according to a new analysis.

A total of 19 states account for all 106 laws passed, including 12 abortion bans, the analysis says.

You are not the sort that would be hired by the Carlyle Group, so you must be someone in the service industry. Often those people are not at the same level as the people they serve and have an warped perception of them.

About 1% of women need abortions because they conceived a child with a problem. About 1%of women need abortions because of rape or incest. The rest are not immoral sluts but immature women who do not take responsibility for their bodies. These women should not be having children, so it is good that they are availing themselves of abortions. This is why I am pro-choice and will always support abortion rights.
