It's an embarrassing loss for Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who thought he could market a 15-week abortion ban as a 'reasonable limit.'
Democrats in Virginia held the state Senate and flipped the House of Delegates in an election that was widely seen as a referendum on abortion rights. Gov. Glenn Youngkin had planned to pursue a 15-week ban if his party took the Senate. But despite spending the last couple of months—and a couple of huge stacks of cash—lying to voters that a 15-week ban isn’t a ban, that path is now effectively cut off.
” One Democratic pollster told the Washington Post that trying to frame a proposed abortion ban as “reasonable” is missing the point—voters have been rejecting candidates who seek to legislate the procedure in any way. “Every field experiment on the politics of abortion since the Dobbs decision has shown that the power is almost lopsidedly on the side of reproductive rights supporters,” said Geoff Garin.
