Leaders on both sides of the abortion debate claim whoever wins the state Senate seat in Tuesday’s election will play an outsize role in shaping Virginia’s laws on the subject.
. Exit polling in the congressional race showed that abortion “jumped up as the number two most important issue for voters … right after the economy,” Melusky said.
“In a state with very slim majorities in the House and Senate, every race matters,” Victoria Cobb, the president of the conservative Family Foundation of Virginia, said in a text message to The Washington Post Thursday.On that point, Cobb was in rare agreement with Rae Pickett, spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, who wrote in an email Jan. 3: “With our state senate almost evenly divided, every single elected official is critical to our health and rights.
In another ad for Rouse, a female narrator warns: “Kevin Adams would be the deciding vote to ban abortion in Virginia. But your vote can stop him before it’s too late.”Adams’s campaign has not emphasized abortion as an issue, instead leaning heavily on his background in the military. In a recent interview with WAVY-TV 10 in Hampton Roads, Adams emphasized law and order. He repeatedly has sought to cast Rouse as soft on crime, something Rouse disputes. In November, the Republican Party of Virginia tweeted a video of Rouse saying during a speech that “the similarities between the slave patrols and modern American policing are too salient to dismiss or ignore.
