<p>Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) said on Sunday that he plans to support a 15-week abortion ban in his state following the Supreme Court&#8217;s recent decision that overturned <em>Roe v. Wade.</em></p>
<p>Youngkin shared the comments during an interview on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Think about it, this was a state… that just 18 months ago was talking about enabling abortion all the way up through and including birth,” he said. “And now we&#8217;re able to talk about a 15-week pain threshold bill where a baby feels pain. This is a remarkable moment for us. And it&#8217;s an opportunity, I&#8217;m not going to let go.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin wouldn&#39;t say if he would ever pursue a total ban on abortion, but has proposed a 15-week ban.</p>
<p>&quot;I believe we can get a 15-week pain threshold bill done in Virginia for the first time&#8230;It&#39;s an opportunity I&#39;m not going to let go.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/yq4HR9Nh1j">pic.twitter.com/yq4HR9Nh1j</a></p>

<p>Youngkin has called for a bipartisan group of lawmakers to help develop the state&#8217;s new bill to limit abortions.</p>
<p>“This in Virginia is a debate that we are going to run to the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision. I agree that this is a decision for states to make by elected officials, by the citizens of Virginia, and that&#8217;s why, right out of the box, I called for a 15-week pain threshold bill to be formed and crafted by a bipartisan group of legislators,&#8221; the governor <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/glenn-youngkin-face-the-nation-transcript-07-10-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during the interview.</p>
<p>Youngkin also referred to the opportunity as a &#8220;moment&#8221; for the country to address the issue of life in the womb.</p>
<p>“I think this is what it&#8217;s all about… this is a moment for our country to have a discussion around this and each state will decide something different,” he added. “And I think that&#8217;s the real value of the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Virginia conservative also faced questions regarding his actions attempting to ban the teaching of critical race theory and other &#8220;divisive&#8221; concepts in schools.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the things we have to do is teach all of our history, but we shouldn&#8217;t play privilege bingo with children,&#8221; Youngkin answered.</p>

<p>In addition to Virginia, a new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-multiple-states-ban-abortion-after-scotus-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">battle</a> over pro-life laws has arisen across multiple states following the June 24 decision to return abortion laws to individual states.</p>
<p>A total of 13 states had previously passed trigger laws designed to take effect after <em>Roe v. Wade </em>was overturned. States with existing trigger bans laws include Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky.</p>
<p>Five states, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa, have also passed laws limiting abortion that were previously shot down in court and could go into effect.</p>
<p>In addition, at least <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/roe-decision-could-put-old-abortion-bans-back-on-the-books-in-these-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">five states</a> that banned abortion before 1973 are now facing uncertainty regarding abortion in their states, including Michigan and Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Some states have already turned attention to abortion pills. Mississippi Republican Governor Tate Reeves <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mississippi-governor-says-doctors-in-his-state-will-lose-their-medical-license-for-prescribing-abortion-pills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last week that doctors in his state will lose their medical license for prescribing abortion pills. Ahead of the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling, Governor John Bel Edwards (D-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/louisiana-governor-signs-bill-outlawing-the-mailing-of-abortion-pills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a bill into law that will make mailing abortion pills a crime in his state.</p>
