Voting has consequences.

That is right and why we voted him in!

Grow up.

I did and voted! Maybe one day you will grow up and vote.

Better hide your coat hangers and knitter needles from your teenage daughters. Although you might prefer them dead to pregnant.

How many teenagers do you know are getting abortions? Sounds like a different kind of problem should be addressed.

DP.. I don't know the stats, but you know.. girls are raped everyday in this country, and sometimes, it leads to a pregnancy.

And the incidence of rape is highest in red states:

Oh, sorry, only legitimate rape leads to pregnancies. I forgot about that.

When you all find out the REAL reason for abortion wars I promise your views on this will change.
And you will find out soon. Buckle up. It's going to be a very emotional ride. One you may not be prepared for.

Please tell me.

Taxes. And segregation. But mostly taxes. Religious conservatives didn’t care about abortion - many even supported it- until the Carter administration ruled that their “donations” to their all-white schools were not tax exempt. That got them hopping mad.

Prior to that time, abortion was a fringe Catholic issue. We all know what the Catholics were doing with moms and babies in those days, and it was pretty awful business. Emphasis on *business* because that’s what it was (and is). Modern American evangelicals did not trust Catholics. But abortion brought them all together and kept them voting for corporate shills ever since on the premise that Roe might one day be overturned. I guess we’re about to find out what happens when the inmates have taken over the asylum.

Carter Administration changing tax laws. Any thing else happen around that time with regards to abortion that might have been a factor?

Virginia recently elected a legislature that weakened(eliminated?) abortion restrictions in Virginia.
Perhaps at the next election, people who voted Youngkin will think Mission Accomplished on the issues that got him and a Republican General Assembly elected, and will focus more on abortion and elect Democrats for the General Assembly and Senate again. Then regardless of who is governor, there will be no restrictions passed on abortion in Virginia.
Of course, that might require Democrats to move on other issues. They started it by mostly supporting the ban on mask requirements in schools.

Read the article. Roe v Wade happened years before the Evangelicals started doing anything.

Same. When Roe was decided we didn't have the scientific evidence of pre-natal development we do today. Of course, overturning Roe will not end abortion. That is a heart issue.

Taking away bodily autonomy is a “heart issue”? WTF?

There's someone else's body in there to be considered. Distinctive DNA.

Someone said Youngkin would push for "reasonable" abortion restrictions. What is it exactly? I simply don't see that VA would go crazy on abortion like some states trying to ban all access under all circumstances. No states restrict abortions when woman's life is in danger, btw, so all the ectopic pg abortion bans or missed MC or other rhetoric that women will be dying forced to carry babies to term is moot. But a lot of them do restrict abortion rights in cases of rape/incest that any "reasonable" human being would find atrocious. I just don't see VA being anywhere near this level.

Do liver transplants need to be protected now? What is my body rejects it? Is that murder?

Taxation of segregated religious schools was the real “motor” behind the Religious Right— the pro-life stuff became a useful proxy when it became politically unpopular to advocate for segregation of schools outright.

It is even worse coercion — it’s government forcing you to lend your body to someone else survival. Government taking your uterus and saying you must host this thing whether you like it or not. They could just as well take your kidney to save another person’s life. It’s abhorrent.

so you're good with making a 12 yr old birth her rapist's child if that should ever happen?

My DD is 13. No f*n way. I wouldn't even make my adult DD do this, or myself.

You people are like the Taliban.

This is my close friend. She thought Youngkin was too wacky. She was pushing for Bill Weld in 2020.
