Virginia Could Decide the Future of the GOP’s Abortion Policy
A crucial new phase in the political struggle over abortion rights is unfolding in suburban neighborhoods across Virginia.
An array of closely divided suburban and exurban districts around the state will decide which party controls the Virginia state legislature after next month’s election, and whether Republicans here succeed in an ambitious attempt to reframe the politics of abortion rights that could reverberate across the nation.
After the Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to abortion in 2022, the issue played
The Abortion Rights Movement’s Unresolved Question
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last June, abortion opponents weren’t the only ones ready to embrace a world beyond it.

The GOP’s Big-City Problem Is Growing
The escalating political struggle over abortion is compounding the GOP’s challenges in the nation’s largest and most economically vibrant metropolitan areas.
The biggest counties in Ohio voted last week overwhelmingly against the ballot initiative pushed by Republicans and anti-abortion forces to raise the threshold for passing future amendments to the state constitution to 60 percent.

Katiana Pierre was about four months pregnant when she discovered that she was expecting. The 24-year-old mother of three said that when her belly started to show, the lady
The Abortion Backlash Reaches Ohio
Officially, abortion had nothing to do with the constitutional amendment that Ohio voters rejected today. The word appeared nowhere on the ballot, and no abortion laws will change as a result of the outcome.
Practically and politically, however, the defeat of the ballot initiative known as Issue 1 was all about abortion, giving reproductive-rights advocates the latest in a series of victories in the year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Fearing the passage of an abortion-rights

British army vet sounds alarm after he’s arrested for silent prayer outside abortion clinic: ‘unfathomable’
A United Kingdom military veteran has been criminally charged by authorities in Bournemouth, England, for silently praying in a “buffer zone” outside an abortion clinic.
Remorseful for paying for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion, Adam Smith-Connor said he prays for the unborn son he lost and for those who are contemplating abortion, doing so occasionally outside clinics. He said his silent praying is indistinguishable from someone looking down at their cell phone or waiting for a taxi.
However, because of “buffer zone”
