DP. I’m ok if the PP votes. I’m not ok if PP pushes her religious beliefs on everyone else and takes away my rights.

Well, that is exactly the kind of decision voters get to choose whether we agree or not. We decide what rights we have unless you’re religious and believe they are God given.

In other words, do people believe they have a God given right to abortion or do they believe these rights come from us through our democratic republic?

No one has the “right” to take away other people’s personal liberty.

I’ve had an IUD for seven years and my child has had one for three. Planned Parenthood inserts them, too. Shrug.
Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.

Hell, European counties like France have stricter gestational limits than the Commonwealth.

Look, you know that Youngkin knows he’s toast if he tried to enact a six-week gestational limit like Ron DeS, dontcha?

So dramatic 🙄

You sound like one of those people who said not to worry about RvW.

How did that turn out?

No, there is a real threat to women’s rights in VA if the Rs take the Senate. The Ds only have a narrow margin - 2 seats.

I’m still waiting for a “women’s rights” Dem to state what a reasonable gestational limit for legal abortions should be in VA…no one will answer.
You know, because Dems say third trimester abortions aren’t happening and all.
I’m listening because I believe 20 weeks, maybe 15 weeks is reasonable. Other women, even my mom, agree.

As I’ve said before, the current timeframe - 26w6d - is reasonable. Certainly no less.

At 15w (or even potentially 20w), women still haven’t had their anatomy scan.

Honestly, it shouldn’t be something for ignorant legislators/lay people to decide at all. I’m comfortable with doctors proving healthcare they deem necessary.

What you just wrote IS third trimester. WTF are you on about with claiming women still haven’t had their anatomy scan at 20 weeks? I don’t think you’ve had children.

This, from Healthline:

“Around 18-22 weeks of pregnancy, about halfway, it’s time for your anatomy scan. This ultrasound exam lets you see your baby and lets a doctor check for problems with your baby’s heart, brain, spine, and other systems.”

I’m sorry but county offices don’t control things like abortion lol. Anyone saying they absolutely “have to” vote for their incompetent Dem rep on the county board or school board due to “muh abortion” is arguing in bad faith and admitting the following: A) you know the current crop of Dem candidates are deeply flawed and they have done things objectively bad. B) you’re a partisan hack who would find any reason whatsoever to justify your Dem vote.

Don’t hide behind abortion when defending your vote for the crappy Dem candidate. They suck and you know it, just embrace your vote for them at this point.

Exactly this. So sick of morons inserting abortion into discussions about the school board.

Republicans continually use the abortion discussion as a political tool to bind the conscience of Christian voters; the Christians feel they MUST vote Republican or else they are sinnning. Republicans take advantage of this to get votes, then do whatever they (Republicans) want to do in office in area that are not related to abotion. So yes, the abortion issue matters.

Whatever you say. I’m a pro-choice Republican but abortion is not my only issue, especially this year. We get that it’s yours though.

Except you’re ok if abortion is banned in VA.

I do. That's one of the ways I know PP needs to turn off MSNBC. I mean, Dems are now supposed to pretend that we don't know what a woman is. So it's ironic for someone to say that Republicans are trying to take away women's rights.

People who care more about a manufactured LGBTQ issues than a woman’s right to control her own body probably aren’t D to start with.

Manufactured? Biden is trying to change Title IX so that men who either believe they are women or who are pretending to be women can play girls' and women's sports, use their bathrooms and locker rooms, be sentenced to women's prison, use women's shelters.

Yes, this is manufactured to spin people up. This is not an 80s sitcom, people do not get their birth certificate reissued or take expensive medication so they can pee in the stall next to you for nefarious purposes.

If you're worried about assault, let's talk about assault - there's little preventing a cis man from walking into a womens bathroom or locker room today, after all, so if that's a real worry then let's explore that instead of demonizing a tiny group of people who aren't hurting you.

There are laws and social contracts preventing men from entering women's reserved spaces. If Title IX is changed so that a women is defined as anyone who says they're a woman, those protection disappear. This is especially bad for womens' and girls' sports, women's prisons, abuse shelters, etc. The fact that you deny this means you're either a misogynist or so woke you've lost your mind.

What % of assaults are actually committed by cisgender men vs transgender women?

I’m not hearing any Rs complain about the huge number of assaults that are actually happening by cisgender men. Only these fantasy assaults by transgender women.

If Rs cared so much about women then why do they want to protect rapists. Why aren’t they doing something about assaults?

If they cared about women’s sports then why aren’t they pushing for gender equity in sports?

This is not about protecting women for Republicans. It’s about hurting transgender people.

This does concern assaults being committed by cisgender men. Because of self ID, men who are sex offenders can simply say they are women and enter women only spaces. The problem is not with trans women but with men who are able to take advantage of this. Just google stories about convicted male sex offenders claiming they are trans women in order to be housed in women’s prisons. This actually caused a huge controversy in Scotland which contributed to Nicola Sturgeon’s downfall. Also is what prompted Keir Stamer to stand against self ID. These stories exist in the US as well but not covered by the US press. But self ID is dangerous and UK progressives, liberals and leftists have finally woken up to its dangers.

More BS. If Rs were so “concerned” about violence in prison then why aren’t they already addressing the massive amounts of violence that already occurs.

It’s not about protecting women. It’s about hurting transgender people.

I can’t believe people are truly this naive. It is unbelievable.

Abortion should be safe, legal, and available when people want or need it, just like heart surgery.
