I am personally pro-life but do not want to see a full ban for others. But, I will vote on crime, border safety and common sense education (aka academics).

Try to keep up: there isn’t “rampant crime” in Virginia.

Don’t be such a hysterical ninny.

I think retailers would disagree. I can’t use the second entrance/ exit to a grocery store anywhere near me. And you guessed it - they cite rising crime!

That's just corporate greed. The big execs sold that second door to fund their mega yacht.

Ironic, isn’t it? Corporate America are the biggest criminals there are and have been ripping off Americans for decades.

Education in red states is in the toilet.

Violent crimes happen more than abortions either about 33% more violent crimes than abortions occurring every year in the United States.

If you look at overall crimes, there are 17 crimes committed for every abortion in the United States every year.

Defund the police and the occurrence of violent and non violent crimes continues to rise. Implement reasonable abortion restrictions and abortions continue to occur although the numbers will most likely decrease.

So for those that make data driven decisions it is an easy one to make.

^ My thoughts exactly! And most abortions (> 95 % ) are preventable just use protection, iud, pills, vasectomy, etc but crime is not. Sometimes you are at the wrong place at the wrong time. My vote is for crime prevention and pregnancy prevention (get an IUD ladies or vasectomy brothers)

No. You don’t get to decide what I do with my body. Period.

Well, the supreme court does. And so do a lot of red state governors and legislatures.

Can thank Kia and Hyundai, with a little bit of TikTok for that.

No it isn’t and knock off this catch and release right wing propaganda.

I realize Fox News viewers believe this because they are terrified of brown people. But words like “spreading” and “catch and release” are deliberate lies

You may want to open the MCPS thread. Education is in the toilet almost everywhere in the US.

Yes, both violent and non-violent crime is on the rise in VA. Yes, NOVA has CA’s that are not prosecuting to the extent they should and criminals are being released back into society.

I have never heard anywhere how the Republicans say as a nation we will pay for all these unwanted babies, and aren’t they setting up the nation for a whole new batch of criminals.

Catch and release is a thing. No matter how many times you say it isn’t.
