On Friday, Youngkin spoke to the Washington Post and said he\u2019ll push an abortion ban after 15 weeks. He admitted the divided state legislature would likely pass a ban after 20 weeks. Youngkin asked four Virginia lawmakers who are all anti-abortion Republicans to craft legislation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cVirginians elected a pro-life governor and he supports finding consensus on legislation,\u201d Youngkin spokesperson Macaulay Porter said in a statement. \u201cHe has tapped Senator Siobhan Dunnavant, Senator Steve Newman, Delegate Kathy Byron and Delegate Margaret Ransone to do so and prioritize protecting life when babies begin to feel pain in the womb, including a 15 week threshold.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My statement on Supreme Court\u2019s Dobbs Ruling Announcement: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JA6N2UGDxi\">pic.twitter.com\/JA6N2UGDxi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Governor Glenn Youngkin (@GovernorVA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovernorVA\/status\/1540351110061428736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Youngkin welcomed the high court\u2019s ruling as an \u201cappropriate\u201d return of power to the states. Youngkin\u2019s policy announcement is his most explicit policy statement to date. This was an issue that he tried to avoid during last year\u2019s campaign. It only seemed to aggravate the partisan divide.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cVirginians do want fewer abortions as opposed to more abortions,\u201d Youngkin voiced. \u201cI am not someone who is going to jump in and try to push us apart, there is a place we can come together.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In D.C. and Maryland Democratic leaders criticized the ruling and pledged to safeguard abortion access rights. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said via email that his state passed laws 30 years ago to protect access to abortion.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of Maryland,\u201d Hogan declared. That is what I have always done and will continue to do as governor.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Youngkin added that he supports exceptions for rape, incest and if the mother\u2019s life is in danger<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/d-c-police-on-high-alert-after-abortion-ruling\/\">D.C.
