for state Republicans on a 15-week abortion limit ahead of legislative elections on Tuesday — an effort meant to combat Democrats’
Abortion is currently available in the state through the second trimester and, under certain conditions, in the third trimester, and Virginia Democrats have been energized on the issue since theFrank Cannon, chief political strategist for leading pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, looks to Republicans’ push for a 15-week limit in Virginia as a “fascinating test case for 2024.
“Now, the argument is, will the 15-week proposal actually provide the contrast that shows that Republicans are willing to try to get to consensus in Virginia on something that a majority of the voters can agree on? Or can the Republican position be demonized and turned into a point of extremism?” he said. “This is what the entire battle is about — both sides are claiming that the other is extreme.
A national 15-week abortion prevention act is not what the pro-life movement wants or should be working towards. “The GOP must refuse to hide their head in the sand on abortion & go on the offense about Democrats’ abortion in all 9 months extremism,” she continued. “And it must stop promoting laws that would allow more than 90% of abortions to continue. They do both at their own peril.”
