Right now, Virginia is the only Southern state that does not have an abortion ban or extreme restrictions. We didn’t just get lucky – it happened because Democrats showed up, organized, and won.
But here’s the truth: people from across the South are depending on us. When abortion is banned at home, Southerners are coming to Virginia for reproductive healthcare. If we lose that access here? Our neighbors won’t have anywhere else to go.
Republican gubernatorial candidate, Winsome Earle-Sears, knows that we’re the last line of defense for the South. As Lieutenant Governor, she has been proudly anti-choice. If she wins the Governor’s Mansion in November, she fully intends to restrict our rights and finish the job her predecessor started.
We have the chance to stop her, but only if we act now.
