Overblown nothing burger.

NP.

Agree. That article is pure fear-mongering.

This thread is even worse. Why do I sense OP is sock-puppeting by writing more than half the “responses” so far?

The Republicans pose a serious danger to women in VA. Do you not see what’s happening in R states? Do you not remember the vaginal probe they were going to force on women last time the GOP had the GA?
Not OP.

All any sane person wants is:

Abortion up to 16 weeks, later if medically necessary for like of the mother or in cases of rape on incest.

Parents are in charge of the child’s education.

Lowest possible taxes.

Strong state university system.

Constitutional carry.

Please tell me more about this parents are in “charge of the child’s education.” So some uneducated bigot gets to decide that because they don’t want their kid to learn about slavery, none of our kids can. Or do you just want your kid to be able to opt out of US history and study the Bible?

These are not things that “sane” people want.

16w is WAY too early.
Taxes: you get what you pay for

Nutters should not carry guns or make educational decisions for school districts.

Sigh, Eileen’s staffers are at it again.

Right now, in the Commonwealth, it’s at 26 weeks (yes, you read that right) and six days’ gestational limit. That is, you guessed it, a third-term abortion. “No one is getting a late-ren abortion,” right? Why is it 26 was 3d? Why? Hmmmm

Youngkin proposed a 15-week gestational limit which is actually more generous than that of regressive, woman-hating ass-backwards places like France and Germany (/s)
(14 and 12 weeks respectively).
No, I told you to get filthy rich Planned Parenthood to pay for your abortion, not the taxpayer.

I totally agree that if he tried to pull a DeSantis and push the limit to six weeks, he would be pilloried and rightly so.
Personally, I would prefer 20 weeks’ gestational limit. Objectively, Youngkin may hold strong personal beliefs and he’s free to talk about them but he must take a moderate approach to this issue or the Republicans will end.

Not a staffer. A voter here in NoVA who cares about women. And a small business owner.

No. 15w and 20w are not acceptable. Most women don’t get their screening u/s until 20w.

26w6d is acceptable because it gives time for a second opinion and to schedule various appts.

If the Republicans touch women’s rights we are out of here. I will relocate my family and business (and substantial taxes) to MD. Away from the crazies.

Youngkin said he will sign anything those crazy Rs will put forward. That’s so disturbing.

Well, good luck and farewell just in case your nightmare scenario becomes reality.
Hope your kids are okay with a prospective move. Wishing you luck. A

My oldest already wants to move.

She’s disgusted by the Republicans in this area.

He’s great. Just what we needed. Especially to help battle the terrible schools vs parents issues.

I had an abortion at 20 weeks. My son had already died due to a condition we knew about and were monitoring since our scan at 12 weeks. But it was still an “abortion” because that’s what they call the procedure.

16 weeks is not too early. Not even close. You don’t know what you’re talking about. These are human beings.

Name one governor of a state that isn’t a trifecta (there aren’t many left) who wouldn’t be focused on having his/her party retain the governorship and win both chambers of the state legislature…

It’s a stupid article.

+100
The constant fear-mongering from the left is so tiresome.

The point is there are serious consequences if that happens in VA.

It’s shocking that more people aren’t talking about what’s at stake.

It's shocking that this is the only topic Democrats care about - to the exclusion of all else.

DP. Sorry - who, exactly, has said they "don't want their kid to learn about slavery"? Do you generally make up lies as you go along, or just on Youngkin threads?

Well the insanity from the right is worse

Youngkin is a liar every single day

Repukes want a full ban nationwide any female who votes red is an idiot

This is more than the abortion issue for women

What do you idiots think will happen to jobs for women? Family values man gets your job you leave for maternity

It’s far worse than a ban

Remember all of those people justifying their Youngkin vote saying that RvW wasn't going anywhere? F you.

That was me with a partial molar pregnancy. I had to have a d&c as the cells become cancerous. People have no place making these decisions for any woman.

Also notice all the bizarre posts here and elsewhere on social media that support submissive women? This is one of the rwnjs planned attacks. They’re trying to normalize this backwards sick crap.
