Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Virginia Republicans widely support legislation that would restrict access to abortion, making such a law likely if the party holds the state House and flips the state Senate.
41% : Now, he is crafting his pitch to voters around other issues, including his record on criminal justice reform and economic opportunity in his majority-minority district.
39% : Finally, the primary in the Virginia Senate's 13th District will test Democrat' views on abortion, as incumbent Rep. Joe Morrisey, a self-described "pro-life" Democrat, squares off against progressive Lashrecse Aird, who supports more access to abortion than Morrisey does.
