OK, what am I missing?

Adoption? Great. A lot of my family has been built through adoption.

Ensuring women's access to health care, contraception and economic opportunity? Great. Period.

Abstinence focused education - bullshit, but if you are being honest about access to contraception, I'm willing to compromise.

Ensuring partial birth abortions are available to women if their lives are in danger? If I'm not mistaken, that's an expansion in abortion rights with respect to the current Virginia law on partial birth abortion.

Ditching the bullshit building standards laws that have done more than anything else to limit access to abortions? Fabulous. A reason to vote for him.

In the end, I really hate the abstinence education part, but I'm good with the rest of it.
