NextImg:Virginia House GOP ad emphasizes Democrats' belief of 'no limits' for abortion


Virginia House Republicans released an advertisement accusing Democrats in the commonwealth of supporting abortion with "no limits."

The advertisement is a rare instance of Republicans going on offense on abortion since the 2022 Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which returned authority over abortion laws to the states. The ad emphasizes how late-term abortion should be the exception rather than the rule.

"Most people believe that abortion at the moment of birth is wrong. Far beyond any reasonable limit. Not Virginia Democrats. They fought to make late-term abortions the rule, not the exception," the narrator said.

The ad then plays a video of Democratic state House Del. Kathy Tran discussing legislation that would have removed all restrictions on abortion in Virginia, which currently allows abortion without restriction until 26 weeks and six days into pregnancy.

"I don't think we have a limit in the bill," Tran said in the video.

The advertisement also plays a clip of former Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam defending the proposed policy from 2019.

"When Virginia Democrats say no limits, they mean no limits," the narrator said.

Some Republicans in Virginia have pushed for banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, but with this ad, the GOP appears to be focusing on only late-term abortions in the homestretch of the 2023 campaign.

Republicans in the Old Dominion are seeking to hold on to their majority in the House of Delegates and retake a majority in the Virginia Senate in what is expected to be a significant test of Gov. Glenn Youngkin's (R-VA) popularity.

Early voting for the state elections began on Friday, with the election scheduled for Nov. 7. The Virginia GOP has made a significant effort to promote early voting in the state, unlike Republican Parties in other states.
