McAuliffe spent millions on pro-abortion ads, arguably making abortion the central issue in his campaign, but his strategy failed spectacularly

When pro-life Republicans go on offense to expose Democrats’ abortion extremism, they win

2/

This was due in part to @GlennYoungkin punching back in his own TV ad and in the debates, defining McAuliffe as the real extremist for supporting painful late-term abortions

3/

The pathway forward for GOP victory in the 2022 midterms is clear:

Go on offense on LIFE and refuse to cede the issue to pro-abortion Democrats

4/

Examples of the McAuliffe campaign putting abortion front-and-center are his TV spots, including “What It Means,” “Far Right Agenda,” “Caught,” “Use Our Power,” and “Our Values” featuring former President Obama

Watch Youngkin’s response ad “No Limit”:

Earlier this month, our partner org, Women Speak Out Virginia – 2021, launched a $1.4 million campaign to defeat McAuliffe and support Youngkin, along with key pro-life candidates in House delegate races

6/

The independent expenditure campaign included hard-hitting digital ads and voter contact mail to persuadable as well as pro-life voters who don’t consistently vote

Watch one of the ads:

Governor-elect Youngkin has outlined his pro-life policy commitments, which include advocating legislation to limit late-term abortions when unborn children can feel pain and working to stop taxpayer-funded abortions
