No one wants to win you back.

Do you realize how large Virginia is? And how little public transportation there is?
Please explain how a pregnant 15 year old (no license, no income) can “simply” get from Appalachia, Virginia to DC?
If you’re on a roll, do Tangier and Abington too.

At least you’re honest about keeping people from voting for us. SMH.

There will be Reproductive Freedom Rider (RFF) buses, sponsored by pro-choice organizations.
Young women will also able to be sponsored by an individual advocate who will offer her concrete, well-planned strategies for access, including full payment for the procedure and ancillary costs. Money for food, lodging, Uber, gas— all will be available.
Organizations will publicize options through social media.

Do you think your prediction will flip voters? You do realize plenty of pro-life-anti-abortion supporters would be fine with this bc it would be privately funded, right? Also, plenty of pro-choice for others who would not have abortions themselves would be OK if the funding stream relied on less public funds.

Hate to break it to you, but as soon as the GQP controls the White House, House and Senate, abortion in DC will be illegal.

DC is not a state it’s a district hum can the6 enforce?

There will be still be ways for women to obtain abortion on demand.

Agreed. 20-24 weeks would be better, but 15 weeks (over 3 months) is plenty of time. Article also says, "He <<Youngkin>> said he supports exceptions for rape, incest and cases where the life of the mother is at risk."

So - what's the fear here really? Stop the hysteria please.

15 weeks should be coupled with generous exceptions for the life and health of the mother. In addition, elective abortions should be provided at ALL hospitals that receive public funding, all bogus counseling requirements and waiting periods eliminated, and ideally the procedure should be subsidized. Those requirements would help women who want an abortion to obtain one quickly and safely.

I’d also like to see birth control pills provided over the counter. There’s no need for a doctor’s visit and prescription.

Abortions were already privately funded under roe so what are you talking about? The Hyde amendment prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion.

Don’t be obtuse. You know that some monies are fungible. Some clinics could not operate if they did not get funding for non-abortion services.

oh how nice that your blue state/district neighbors are willing to provide healthcare services to you that your own state would deny to you. You treat liberal policies like a booty call. I would question your morals.

What on earth makes you think any Virginia resident who wants an abortion can "simply" go to DC? This is so absurd.

And guess who passed a bill saying schools had to stay open? That would be...democrats. Dems are not my favorite but they are not against women and children. That would be the party who wants to take away social supports for women and children.

The party that closed schools and screwed working moms are the democrats. I’m pro-choice but will never again vote democrat. Sorry.

You are not pro-choice. Stop lying.

and how do you explain red states that also closed schools?

Red states that closed schools opened a year before dmv. The democrats idiocy with schools knows no bounds. It’s ridiculous to claim they are the party that cares about women. Those idiots destroyed my career and caused permanent harm to my kids. Ps: we are all getting covid.

If you or a loved one needs an abortion for whatever reason, "democrat idiocy" will save you.

There was a time I could have been persuaded to vote for a R candidate, as there are a number of issues I lean more center-right on.

I did not vote for Youngkin, and the SCOTUS absolutely sealed the deal that I will never, ever, EVER in my life vote for a Republican candidate at any level. At least until they drop this religious nutjob "pro-life" facade that 90% of us know is horseshit.

Are the Democratic candidates great? No. But they're not the disgusting zealot charlatans like the Republicans of this time are.

There are days I’m convinced forced birth people post “oh it will never happen. Oh they are fear mongering, it doesn’t matter who you vote for “ all while making sure they vote for who they know will advance their cause.

Saying any VA resident can go to DC is both arrogant and short-sighted if you are actually pro-choice. VA is not a tiny state - not every one has the money to simply go to DC. Second if someone is willing to have a CRT tip line to report teachers why is it a stretch to think a Texas style law that would make it a first degree felony to help someone get an abortion and a tip line to report someone would never happen?

oh PP, you don't seem to understand that some people (see ^PP) are extremely selfish and only care about themselves. Clearly the ^PP has the means to go to a blue area to get healthcare that her own state would deny her. She's saying, "Thank goodness for blue states for when I need them but screw them when I don't".

You all should put your money where your mouth is. Will you leave VA if they do restrict abortion? I doubt it.. because money is still more important to you than abortion. This won't move the needle much, and Rs know it. Most people don't feel that strongly enough about abortion to impact their wallets.

I will be moving my small business out of VA if Youngkin fcks with women’s rights.

My kids even want to leave the country they are so disgusted by the current mess caused by Republicans.

Because they need those funds for all of the other amazing services they provide.
