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.

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

And sane people and businesses flee for good.

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

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.

Looks like fewer OBs want to go to women-hating states:

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.

"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.

Anecdotally, all of the young women I know, who are considering where to go for school or a job, are categorically deciding not to consider states that forbid them from making her own decisions about reproductive health care. Maybe you're not a young woman and don't care, but plenty of other people are young women and do.

Women in VA shouldn’t have to drive up to 7 hours (each way) for health care.

The candidate in PWC (and the governor) both have effectively said they would support a full ban. That’s not what VA voters, including Rs, want. How is that contradictory?

The GOP will get their votes however they can. Youngkin already admitted that he couldn’t speak freely about abortion because he’d lose votes.

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. “ “I would support a 100 percent ban,” 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. “Any bill that comes to my desk I will sign happily and gleefully in order to protect life,” he said.

3) This is not what VA wants. 75% of VA voters don’t want stricter laws.
“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. 52% of Rs don’t want stricter laws.
“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.”

This extremist minority is trying to push their religious views on the majority who do not want this.
