[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not worth the loss of rights.  While NoVa is liberal, ROVa is very conservative and ROVa currently has more control of state politics and laws.  This is how women lost the right to control their own bodies.  And while most of the near suburbs are pretty color-blind, you only have to go 30-60 minutes outside the beltway where things turn much more conservative.  White supremecists have become much more active since the Trump presidency started and there are scary situations happening in ROVa.  For our mixed race family, it is not really comfortable.

Same story in MD, though.  Have you been to the Eastern Shore?[/quote]

I understand.  But in MD, the conservatives are a minority and the liberals control the legislature.  In VA it is the opposite which is how laws such as the ultrasound law were passed.[/quote]

Funny you say that, considering MD's Governor is Republican and Virginia's a Democrat. [/quote]

Yes, that is the executive branch.  I said the legislature which writes and passes the laws.  Yes, the governor can veto a law, but a united legislature can (and has) overruled a veto.  The governor has some checks and balances on the legislature, but not all and both legislatures are very powerful.  The controlling party in both states has a fairly strong hold on the legislature which is significantly more important than the governor in setting state law.[/quote]
