[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re drawing grand conclusions by quoting one candidate and repeating a vague comment made by the Governor. You contradicted your own thesis by including the data point that a majority of GOP voters in Virginia don’t want stricter abortion laws.

Virginia isn’t Alabama. Despite what some loonies on the Far Right say, the GOP here will not get a majority of votes behind a 100% ban on abortion. Youngkin knows this.

Calm down.[/quote]

Keep you head in the sand while the daughters of Virginia flee to DC and Maryland for their healthcare.[/quote]

And sane people and businesses flee for good. [/quote]

Curious statement when several states that actually have more restrictive abortion policies being discussed boast some of the fastest growing economies in the country.[/quote]

They're not going to be some of the fastest growing economies once all of the ob/gyns leave and they can't get young doctors to move there.

Scare tactics. Where’s the hard data pointing to an exodus? A few anecdotes doesn’t cut it.[/quote]

It’s only been one year since states started legislating the bans. Over time, we will certainly see the data to see the negative impacts to women and families.

[i]"Not being able to practice the way I was trained and the way that I think is objectively the services that women need the option to have, it would definitely preclude me from working in the state," Mamelson said.

Mamelson said a lot of her colleagues feel the same way and are disheartened by the fact that they need to travel so far to get abortion training.

Physician shortages, which have predated bans, will only get worse in states with bans, some doctors told ABC News. Knowing how to perform abortions is a skill that could be necessary to save a patient's life, Shamshirsaz said.

Dr. Sarah Osmundson, a maternal fetal medicine specialist in Tennessee, told ABC News she has colleagues who have already begun to leave the state because of the bans.

"There are some of us that really feel that we need to stay and be part of the care for our very high-risk patients, and to be part of the advocacy that, hopefully, will transform some of these laws so they're not so dangerous to patient care," she added.[/i]
