Polling confirms Virginians strongly favor protections for the unborn at 15 weeks, with
exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. That includes 64% of Independents, 55% of rank-and-file Democrats, and 56% of women. Even 60% of likely pro-choice voters agree. This puts our commonwealth in good company with virtually the entire world. 47 out of 50 European nations limit elective abortion at 15 weeks or earlier — most around 12 weeks.
