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.

The people insisting Youngkin would turn VA into Texas are obviously extremely insecure about this election (as they should be), and are trying to intimidate on-the-fence voters into voting for McAuliffe. Youngkin may be personally opposed to abortion (as are Biden and Tim Kaine, btw), but he is going to uphold all laws of VA.
They are desperate. They have a horrible candidate who doesn't relate to Virginians.

Well, we have two capitalist candidates so we are good there.
Oh wait. You do know what Marxism is, right?

I will remember months of violent rioting and unrest that went on in the middle of a pandemic, and will support the candidate from the party that did not encourage that destructive behavior![]()

Question, just curious - are you voting a straight R ticket or splitting the ticket?
They sound like the hipsters in the coffee shop voting Trump.
As much as you, the Biden’s, Obama, Abrams, Harris, and random Dems try to make this election about Trump, it is about McAuliffe and Youngkin and what people in Virginia want.
Stop by a Virginia coffee shop today, and the only people talking about Trump will be the pink pussy cat hat boomers too old to evolve politically.
This. I can’t stand Trump (who is NOT ON THE BALLOT), but I’ll tell you what I can’t stand more: needing to waste money on private school because the navel gazing equity morons in charge can’t get out of their own way. Bye!!
Nothing wrong with bringing more equity into the schools. Were you always a racist or is this new behavior?
DP.
Equity? Nope.
Equality? Sure.
Equity: fairness or justice in the way people are treated
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/
DP. You’re opposed to notions of fairness and justice in schools? You’re really letting the racist flag fly here.
DP. Academic equity is the opposite of academic excellence.
I'd like to see excellence in schools.
In which schools?
Currently, inequalities and biases are creating additional hurdles for some kids and schools to achieve “excellence”.
Don’t you want ALL kids and schools to excel?
DP. Why don't you tell us which public schools you're referring to?
DP. Look at SOL scores for any school system in VA that isn’t all white and you’ll see what pp was talking about.

That’s not what he said. Are you an idiot or a liar? Curious minds want to know.
Nice try, but that was Terry’s basket of deplorable moment.
Here you can actually see what he said.
