[quote=Anonymous]I thought over the summer that Youngkin said to supporters on the campaign trail that he'd start going on the offense when he got into office but that he needed to focus on not alienating independent voters with anti-abortion rhetoric in the meantime.

I haven't found any polling but Youngkin may have done internal polling. In any case, this is still a conservative leaning state and it's possible that the majority residents outside of Northern Virginia and urban areas might actually support shortening the number of weeks before a pregnancy can no longer be terminated.

Virginia voters, if you don't like the roll back of abortion protections, then please show up at the polls on November 7, 2023 to make sure you do your part to keep the Democratic majority in the state senate. And, state courts will continue to disapprove of extremely gerrymandered districts. That's because it's looking very likely that the 6-3 majority on the U.S. Supreme Court will not be disturbing any state laws that undermine Roe. Unfortunately, the legal reasoning in Roe is one that many of the sitting justices would love to tear apart because it is looking like stare decisis is not going to matter despite what 69% of Americans believe (that Roe should not be overturned). And even if we were to play the GOP game about polls (discount the opinions held by people living in populous blue states), I think that it would still be an opinion held by the majority even if you took out the opinions of Californians and New Yorkers.
