Virginia voters are deciding whether to keep divided government at the state level. At stake is the chance to dramatically reshape abortion policy.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin shakes hands with supporters during a Secure Your Vote Rally on Oct. 23 in Glen Allen, Va.
Youngkin has been stumping for Republican candidates, driving home the significance of the elections. Dunnavant is a practicing OB-GYN. She aligns with Youngkin's support for a 15-week limit on abortion as long as it includes certain exceptions. She voted against a proposed bill earlier this year because it didn't include an exception for fetal anomalies, which are often detected after 15 weeks."'Ban', if you look it up in the dictionary, means none, prohibited. That's fearmongering language they're using," said Dunnavant of her Democratic opponent.
"I think the Virginia Democrats have been very, very disciplined about not getting into the weeds," she told NPR."Because for voters, there's a fundamental freedom and right at stake here.""Fifteen-week bans, six-week bans, people get very confused about that — people aren't very good at math or biology, as it turns out," Lake said."People are like, 'I don't want to hear about all of this gobbledygook.
Nichols said the GOP messaging, which she laughingly referred to as"the ban is not a ban," didn't convince her.Other voters who oppose abortion rights are contending with the fact that their options are sometimes limited to a Republican who supports less stringent restrictions than the total bans they want to see put in place.
