[quote=Anonymous]Women’s rights are at risk in VA with the upcoming General Assembly elections. 1) John Stirrup, a Republican running for Virginia’s House of Delegates in a purple district that covers part of Prince William County, was recorded saying he supports a total ban on abortion. “[b] “I would support a 100 percent ban,” [/b]he says. “It seems like the kind of acceptable … position has been about 15 weeks, but that really doesn’t save that many lives. ” https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/08/10/abortion-ban-virginia-elections-stirrup/ 2) Youngkin said he’ll sign any bill that comes his way so the GA is very vital to protect women. Right now, Ds only have a narrow lead. [b]“Any bill that comes to my desk I will sign happily and gleefully in order to protect life,[/b]” he said. 3) This is not what VA wants. [b]75% of VA voters don’t want stricter laws. [/b] “The Post-Schar School poll finds that most Virginia voters oppose the idea of tightening access to abortions. Overall, 34 percent say abortion laws should “remain as they are” and 41 percent say they should be “less strict,” while 17 percent say abortion laws should be made “more strict.”” Even most Rs don’t want this. [b]52% of Rs don’t want stricter laws. [/b] “Almost 4 in 10 Republicans — 39 percent — say they want Virginia’s abortion laws to remain unchanged, while 36 percent of GOP voters want them to be stricter and 13 percent want them to be less strict. Among Democrats, 69 percent want the laws to be less strict.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/04/06/virginia-voters-youngkin-approval-poll/ This extremist minority is trying to push their religious views on the majority who do not want this.
