Terry McAuliffe: “I will be a brick wall” for late-term abortion

In a September 12th appearance at George Mason University, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe said that he would be a “brick wall” against any attempts to restrict late-term abortion. The audio of his comments was recorded in the video below:

Woman #1:  So as governor, would you oppose any restrictions on my right to an abortion at any time?

McAuliffe: No.

Woman  #1:  No?

McAuliffe: I would support not to add any restrictions.

Later McAuliffe answered a second related question:

Woman #2:  Also, if any anti-choice Republicans were to introduce legislation preventing me from getting an abortion after 20 weeks would you oppose it?

McAuliffe: First of all, you have a Constitutional right. This has been determined in our nation. It is a Constitutional right. Is what I said here, I will be a brick wall to stop any erosion of any Constitutional right that any woman has in Virginia. I will be a brick wall.

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 17: Supporters of the pro-life group "The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children" (SPUC) demonstrate against the the proposed decriminalisation of abortion, outside the Houses of Parliament on June 17, 2025 in London, England. In a free vote held in Parliament on Tuesday, MP's are considering two separate amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill, brought forward by Labour MPs Tonia Antoniazzi and Stella Creasey, which both seek to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales. Although abortion is allowed up to 24 weeks under certain criteria laid out in the 1967 Abortion Act, women can still be prosecuted for terminating pregnancies under the Victorian-era 'Offences Against the Person Act' which makes it a crime for a woman to "procure her own miscarriage."
