6. Ok, I don't care for his stance about teaching abstinence-focused stuff.
"I will reduce abortion in Virginia by enforcing current Virginia restrictions, passing an enforceable ban on partial-birth abortion, ensuring women's access to health care (including legal contraception), and promoting abstinence-focused education and adoption.

We should reduce abortion in this manner, rather than by criminalizing women and doctors."

He is Catholic, believes in abstinence only education...which ain't working at all...so I wonder what he means by ensuring women's access to health care including "legal" contraception? We would need to define "legal", such as in the morning after pill is not really "legal" here unless your doctor says it is....in fact I am not sure it is termed legal.

The state of VA was promised 5 million by Terry McAuliffe in January. I have wondered...is it because it is a Southern state?

Every pro-life person who is elected hurts women in every state, whether it be governor or senator or whatever.
