RICHMOND, VA – Far-right, MAGA Republicans have made no secret that if elected, they’ll work to ban abortion, taking away Virginian’s freedoms. In the last General Assembly session, their abortion ban was stopped by the 1-vote Democratic majority.

Virginia House Democrats last week launched a new, six-figure ad campaign to make sure Virginians know their rights are at stake this November.

Virginia House Democrats’ first statewide ad ahead of the Nov. 7 elections focuses on abortion access, targeting Republicans on the issue and claiming GOP lawmakers will ban the procedure if they take control of the General Assembly.

The first ad focuses on comments from John Stirrup, a Republican running for the House of Delegates who said he would favor a “100% ban” on abortion in a recording obtained and reported by The Washington Post.
