Virginia Democrats look to tie GOP to Texas abortion law

Virginia Democrats are sounding the alarm over abortion rights in the commonwealth ahead of November's general elections, seeking to tie the state's Republican candidates to a new restrictive Texas law banning the procedure after 6 weeks of pregnancy.

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe hit his opponent Glenn Youngkin on the issue in a press call on Thursday, calling the Republican the most "anti-choice candidate in the history of Virginia."

"If Glenn Youngkin is elected and he gets the House, there is a good chance that Virginia could go the way of Texas and women will lose their rights here in the commonwealth of Virginia," McAuliffe said.

Down the ballot, the state's Democrats are also capitalizing on the issue in a bid to keep their 55-45 majority in the House of Delegates.
