[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised people think that if Youngkin is elected Virginia will suddenly turn into Texas if Roe v Wade is overturned and outlaw abortion. The average Virginian is pretty moderate (socially liberal leaning and fiscally conservative leaning). They might be anti-abortion for their own choices but they’re not ones to tell others what to do or impose their personal beliefs on someone else and are pro-choice for others.

I do not see the majority of Virginians finding pro-life measures and outlawing abortion to be a priority and in fact most will find it too overreaching and indecent. They will not support this in the numbers you suggest, not at all.

I have lived in Virginia all my life all over the commonwealth.  Virginians aren’t known to be extreme on either end.  So this knee jerk reaction that Virginians are chomping at the bit and just waiting for Youngkin to get elected so abortion can be banned is offensive. First there would have to be a law on his desk to sign. I don’t think it will get to that point, not anytime soon.

So stop painting Virginians as extreme right pro life marching single issue voter crazy trains. We’re not. [/quote]

Are you kidding? We are talking about the VA GOP legislators here. [b]From 2012-2020, the VA Republicans forced women to get a vaginal probe[/b] and 24-hr waiting period before getting an abortion. This was happening up until LAST YEAR when the Ds took over.

And the 2021 Rs are even crazier than the 2012 Rs. Of course they will try to pull that Texas crap here.

Disinformation Urban Moms yet again:

Please, let’s put truth out there. I am pro-choice and that was never actually part of the law that passed, people.

Yes, already clarified a few times now.

Up until LAST YEAR (when Ds took over) the GOP required women to get an u/s and wait 24 hrs. Politicians forced unnecessary medical procedures on women for almost a decade.

And that was 2012 Republicans. 2021 Republicans are even more insane. They will not hesitate to push the Texas-style ban.

Have you ever HAD an abortion anywhere?  I did.  Outside of VA, did ultrasound at 1st appointment.  Nothing unusual there.

Education more important.  ALL children need a good education.  Few get abortions.  [/quote]
I agree with you that education is the most important issue, which is why I don't trust the GOP candidate.   I don't understand the argument that Republicans care more about education. Can you give an example of how this is true?  Are GOP led states better in terms of education? Besides saying he is anti CRT, what has Youngkin proposed?[/quote]

+1.  What does Glenn Youngkin even know about public education?  He’s never served in government to understand how it works. [/quote]
