Se logra una mayoría a favor del derecho al aborto en la Asamblea General de Virginia

RICHMOND, VA — Hoy, los candidatos respaldados por Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia ganaron en votaciones clave en todo el estado. El aborto fue un tema dominante en este ciclo electoral, y estos candidatos hicieron campaña para bloquear cualquier intento de prohibir el aborto en Virginia. Los resultados de las elecciones de esta noche son un primer paso crítico hacia una enmienda constitucional que protege la libertad reproductiva.

Declaración de Alexis McGill Johnson, presidenta de Planned Parenthood Action Fund:

“Una cosa está clara: los habitantes de Virginia entendieron la tarea. Al elegir mayorías a favor de los derechos reproductivos al senado y a la cámara del estado de la Mancomunidad, los votantes de Virginia eligieron mantener a raya al excesivamente entusiasta gobernador Glenn Youngkin, quien ha declarado que firmaría con gusto cualquier legislación en contra del aborto que llegara a su escritorio. Esta noche, Planned Parenthood Action Fund celebra a los votantes y defensores que ayudaron a evitar que los políticos antiaborto obtuvieran una victoria triple enviando un mensaje contundente de que desean el poder de tomar decisiones sobre sus propios cuerpos, vidas y futuros”.

Declaración de Jamie Lockhart, directora ejecutiva de Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia:

“Hoy comprobamos que cuando el derecho al aborto está en la papeleta electoral, la libertad reproductiva gana. Los votantes de Virginia dejaron claro su apoyo por el derecho al aborto al elegir mayorías a favor de los derechos reproductivos en el Senado Estatal y en la Cámara de Delegados. Los candidatos respaldados por Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia hicieron del aborto un tema central en sus campañas y los votantes respondieron con un mensaje claro: rechazaron una prohibición del aborto en Virginia.

“Esta es una victoria clave por el acceso al cuidado de salud y por el futuro del derecho al aborto en nuesta commonwealth. Trabajaremos de la mano de nuestros aliados en la Asamblea General por la libertad reproductiva en la próxima sesión legislativa”.
