Can Glenn Youngkin Pull Off Another Magic Trick in Virginia? – WSJ

The crux of the strategy is Youngkin s drive to unify the party around an abortion position that he hopes can solve one of the GOP s most vexing political problems. A Republican-controlled statehouse, he is promising, would restrict abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but no further. The gambit represents Republicans latest effort to find a palatable stance on an issue that has flummoxed the party since last year s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, one that doesn t alienate swing voters. If it works, he said, I think it should be a national message that Republicans can learn from.
