Virginia Gubernatorial Debate

Published | Video Starts at 1:08:53

Ms. Earl Sears, Ms. Spamberger, you say you want to keep Virginia the last bastion of reproductive freedom in the South. Do you support any limits on abortion? You have 60 seconds. When the Dobbs decision was made, it was very quickly clear that state after state would move to restrict abortion access as my opponent has previously supported. In states where they further restricted abortion access, women very wanted children, women with ectopic pregnancies were sent home and women have died. If my opponent were to become governor, that is what she would inflict. (1:08:53–1:09:04)
