VA gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe vows to put abortion activism above women’s health

At a campaign event this week, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe pledged his unwavering — and disturbing — support for abortion providers and facilities in the state of Virginia if given the governor’s seat. It is unclear who or what, besides the coffers of abortionists, this vow will benefit, since McAuliffe’s support encompasses substandard abortion facilities, practices, and doctors in the state of Virginia. These substandard facilities put women at risk, and there have already been more than eighty documented violations inside of these Virginia abortion mills, including beds covered with blood, an abortionist who operates on women without washing his hands first, and one clinic that has seventeen pages of recorded deficiencies.

McAuliffe Vows to Keep Substandard Abortion Facilities Open

McAuliffe told supporters that, even though only one of the eighteen abortion mills in the state of Virginia meets the regulations it is required to achieve in order to operate legally, the candidate plans — if voted into office — to issue a guidance opinion, which will put a stay on the implementation of these regulations. He said:

To recap: the regulations violations which pose severe risk to women’s health in Virginia do not matter to Terry McAuliffe. What matters is keeping abortionists and abortion facilities in business regardless of the substandard and unhealthy medical practices they facilitate. Under the potential governorship of Terry McAuliffe, these practices will go unchecked.
