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.

Well said.

I think you are forgetting about the GOP/Trump supporters outside of NoVa.

Uh, Trump is not on the ballot in Virginia. Did you not know that?

Uh, PP didn't say he was.

GOP and Trump supporters will absolutely be voting for Youngkin.

Trump is actively campaigning for Youngkin.

Youngkin welcomed Trump's endorsement.

Youngkin actively has pushed Trump's lie about "election integrity".

Youngkin is a Trump Republican.

The GOP is actively pushing to restrict voters' rights.

The GOP is actively pushing to restrict women's rights.

Youngkin has NEVER said that the Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election. He has been asked this several times and not once did he ever say the election was ridged or false.

Trump has never campaigned with Youngkin. He has never been at any rally or event in Virginia for him. Ever. Sure there is some sort of telly rally (whatever that is) but that's it.

This is a state wide election. This is not a national or federal election. Virginians want people from the other 49 states to but out! STOP using us and our election as your prop or stage for whatever national or personal agenda you have. Stop trying to make dots connect that aren't even close. Most Virginians can't stand Trump. He didn't win in 2016 or 2020 there. Trump barely even campaigned in Virginia for 2020 because of it.

I cannot stand people with no real connection to Virginia (they aren't from here, work here, live here) barging in to take advantage of the political moment for their own personal or professional or political gain, taking advantage of the people who do live here, and then come Wednesday they're gone on to their next big thing and we are all still sitting here having to deal with whatever happens. Stay home.

Also no one pays any attention to Amanda Chase, she's a nut job.

Are you kidding? We are talking about the VA GOP legislators here. From 2012-2020, the VA Republicans forced women to get a vaginal probe 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.

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.

Nice try. You know we have access to the internet, right?

The caucus says it’s the first time they’ve endorsed a Republican for governor since they were founded in 2012.
Previously, the caucus endorsed Terry McAuliffe for governor in 2013 and Ralph Northam for governor in 2017.

Youngkin's supporters are extreme. The book banning, 'stolen election' ranting, support of the insurrection, etc. are all perfect examples of this.

We know that Youngkin wants to criminalize abortion because of his own public statements on the issue.

PP here, so your reply is a perfect example. You are generalizing all Youngkin voters as extreme based on what? Because Youngkin said he was concerned about election integrity, because SOME supporters were concerned about sexually explicit books being taught in high school, and I’m not sure which supporters said they were in support of the insurrection. Did Youngkin ever say he was in support of the insurrection? If so I’d honestly love to see a citation/link so I can educate myself.

Your post clearly shows you don’t know Virginia state politics or average Virginians. We’re not having a bonfire to burn books. We’re not chaining ourselves together blocking the entrance to Planned Parenthood. I watched in horror on January 6, I even turned someone in to the FBI. The average Virginian doesn’t take kindly to people making false generalizations or stereotypes about us, especially ones that are so way off base. And it will have the opposite effect as intended like that LP shenanigans on Friday. It will only make us like you less, when we prefer just to play well with others and get along.

DP. I don't think you are an extremist and I don't think my neighbors are extremists. I think Sears is an extremist and I think Youngkin is courting extremists. Will he continue to court them after he's elected? Probably.



So yes, I'm voting for abortion in this election. Because Republicans (I used to be one) have made this election about abortion. I am also very concerned about education. But first, abortion.

No -YOU have made this election about abortion. I have heard little about the topic from either candidate

We know McAuliffe will veto any anti-women legislation that the Rs will push.

Youngkin said he can’t talk about it because he’s trying to win “independent votes”.

Try to keep up.

DP. You can bump this as much as you'd like. I'll just continue to post this, each and every time.

“The American Independent” is the left-wing group that posted the video. What a laugh, using “independent” in their name, hoping to fool people into thinking they’re actually independent. Here’s what Media Bias/FactCheck has to say:

LEFT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

I love when you bump this up for everyone to see exactly what Youngkin has to say about abortion.

He won’t talk about it more publicly until he gets those “independent votes”.
