Youngkin marches for life in a state unchanged by Roe’s demise
demise has no immediate prospect of changing abortion access in Virginia. Youngkin’s plan to ban abortion after 15 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother, has gone nowhere in a divided state Capitol.
House Speaker Todd Gilbert has yet to assign any of the abortion access bills filed in that chamber to committees, acknowledging that they would probably die in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Youngkin’s participation in the march drew criticism from national Democrats, who suggested he was looking to advance his prospects as a potential 2024 presidential candidate.“In his bid for national relevance with the MAGA base, Glenn Youngkin is doubling down on his extreme, antiabortion bonafides,” Democratic National Committee spokesman Rhyan Lake said in a statement. “Supporting abortion bans that threaten doctors with jail time will be a 2024 litmus test, and Youngkin is desperate to pass.
