You’re voting R for state legislature to spite local Ds?

And willing to throw away women’s rights to do so?

This whole “you have to vote for all Ds or else you are voting to throw away women’s rights” argument is tiresome. Here’s a thought, maybe Ds should take a look in the mirror and realize their stances on crime and schools aren’t popular and adjust accordingly, instead of relying on guilting voters into supporting them based solely on the abortion issue.


THANK YOU. I am beyond sick of the sanctimonious liberals on this site, lecturing others about who to vote for (or not vote for). Stay in your lane, Ds. We're all entitled to our vote and many of us are simply not obsessed with the abortion issue, as you are.


Your vote, your choice. But own it.

If you vote R you are saying you are ok if the Rs ban abortion. Maybe you’re ambivalent but that is 100% your choice.


What part of the above post is not "owning" my choice? Get over yourself. No one is going to "ban" abortion, just like no one is "banning" books, you moron. I FULLY own my vote. Again: stay in your lane.


You aren’t owning it because you refuse to admit that Republicans are actively trying to ban abortion in VA. Just admit that you think it’s acceptable if they ban abortion.


Limiting abortion to 15 weeks is not banning it, you twit.

Limiting abortion to 15 weeks is banning abortion after 15 weeks, leaving women with wanted babies who have horrendous diagnoses no choice but to deliver them, endangering their own health and future fertility. And Youngkin specifically said he’d sign anything the legislature gave him, not just a 15-week ban.

You hate America and have values that are wildly out of step with those of mainstream Virginian voters. Sucks to be you.



Well, apparently not so out of step since voters chose Youngkin. These threads are so un useful. I wish they were all re-visited after the elections to see how things actually pan out.

That’s your big problem: Democrats’ “stances on crime and school” are PLENTY popular. And the results of elections around the country since Dobbs shows emphatically that abortion is the overriding concern for voters.

Moreover, the fear-based crime messaging only works on uneducated voters. Voters here roll their eyes at the suggestion that there’s a crime problem in the mean streets of Warrenton or Culpeper or Lorton or wherever.

Keep telling yourself that the way Dems are handling crime is popular. Loudoun County parents love the direction their schools have taken too. My town doesn’t have a crime problem, and I don’t want the streets of my town/county to become like DC or even MoCo, so I’m fine with keeping the status quo at our local level with Rs. But keep pushing the abortion issue as the single issue that voters should base their decision on.
-signed an educated voter with a law degree


Thanks, I will. Because it’s the winning issue.

You go on believing phantom menaces if you need to.

My house/ex’s household have already produced 8 votes for Dems in Loudoun. That is me, my two college age children who came home to vote early, my girlfriend, my ex and her boyfriend and his two adult children.

The Republican messaging here is a complete loser.

Crime isn’t a problem, we know full well this is about abortion and Youngkin’s future political ambitions, and we intend to take back our public schools from the lunatics obsessed with marginalizing at-risk students and banning books.


So it’s pretty important to you that books depicting graphic illustrations of boy to adult oral sex be made available to children in *school* libraries rather than accessible at Barnes & Noble or available to be checked out at the public library? Because that’s what we’re taking about here, right? That’s the “banned books” rhetoric …
Get as much porn into schools as possible because why have any expectation that books chosen for school libraries should be porn-free?


That isn't in any book being debated. Your "porn" is a figment of your imagination. Perv.


Right - which is why school boards refused to let parents read excerpts from this book because "there might be children present". You can't make this stuff up. LWNJs are the perverts, not to mention disgusting hypocrites.

That doesn’t make it porn.

And what is appropriate for a high school student is different than what’s appropriate for a kindergartner.


These books *aren't* appropriate for kids, period. Though nothing is stopping you from making sure your kids have full access to them.

Yes, I'm 100% ok with that.

And your hyperbole about "porn" is ridiculous. You know that, you just argue everything in bad faith. We see you clearly.


Jesus. Talk about "seeing YOU clearly" - there is no hyperbole about porn. And no one is "banning" these books. They're all available at your local public library or book store, or Amazon. You'll always be able to do porn storytime with your kids, no worries. Making sure our public school libraries have appropriate reading material is not "banning" anything. But you know that. Thanks for showing - yet again - your true colors.

It’s not porn. No matter how many times you push those Republican lies.


It certainly is. No matter how many times you Democrats continue to gaslight us. Why weren't parents allowed to read aloud from these books in school board meetings? Why are the graphically sexual images in these books deleted from this site when they're posted? We'll wait while you spin something up.

You’re voting R for state legislature to spite local Ds?

And willing to throw away women’s rights to do so?

This whole “you have to vote for all Ds or else you are voting to throw away women’s rights” argument is tiresome. Here’s a thought, maybe Ds should take a look in the mirror and realize their stances on crime and schools aren’t popular and adjust accordingly, instead of relying on guilting voters into supporting them based solely on the abortion issue.


THANK YOU. I am beyond sick of the sanctimonious liberals on this site, lecturing others about who to vote for (or not vote for). Stay in your lane, Ds. We're all entitled to our vote and many of us are simply not obsessed with the abortion issue, as you are.

It’s an economic issue because being forced to carry an unplanned pregnancy keeps women from participating in the workforce (even if only for 6 weeks) and hurts our economy which we all benefit from. It’s an education issue because the majority of young women forced to carry unplanned pregnancy don’t go to higher education (which then impacts the jobs they can get which then hurt the economy). It’s a health issue. Just read the stories of women losing their fertility and worse because “exceptions” are vague at best. it’s a health access issue, because where strict abortion bans exist, OBGYNs are leaving and hospitals are closing. And it’s a CRIME issue. Women are most at risk from domestic abuse in pregnancy.

Women are living, breathing people who have the right to control their own lives and bodies. They take precedence over any potential children.

It's disgusting that people feel like they can force women to carry pregnancies and give birth against their will. It's a form of physical violence against women.
