As anyone who has recently turned on a TV in Virginia could tell you, a deluge of Democratic ads about abortion have been raining down on Virginia voters in the weeks leading up to the state’s November 7 legislative elections.
The Democratic messaging in blue Virginia paints Republicans as determined to ban abortion without exception — an argument that bends the truth past the breaking point. The proposal that Republicans would pursue — if they capture the Democrat-controlled senate and keep their narrow majority in the house of delegates — would reduce Virginia’s limit on elective abortions from 26 weeks and six days to 15 weeks, with exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is endangered.
