GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor Youngkin, thank you for joining us this morning. That 15-week ban, is it front and center in the campaign right now? Are you worried that it's going to cost you the legislature?
GOV. GLENN YOUNGKIN: Well, George, good morning, and there are huge elections in Virginia on Tuesday, three short days away, and I appreciate you covering them because I think they're the most important elections in America because these issues that are so important to Virginians are also the ones that are going to be so important to Americans next year. And on the topic of abortion, this is a tough topic. It’s one of the most divisive topics across Virginia and America today, and I'll just remind you that just four years ago in Virginia they were one vote away from the Democrats passing a bill that would extend abortion rights all the way up through including birth, paid for by taxpayer money. I really feel that this is a moment for us to come together around reasonable limits where we can protect life at 15 weeks where a baby feels pain, with full exceptions in the case of rape and incest, and when the mother's life is at risk, and I think this is a place that Virginians can come together. All the way up through birth is way too extreme. This is a place we can come together and settle on a very difficult topic and I think we can lead here as opposed to fight.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, you- uh, but…current Virginia law says you can- has 26 weeks. Has abortion access up to 26 weeks. Why not just leave that law in place?
YOUNGKIN: What I'm hearing from Virginians- and nearly 70% have responded that they would support a bill to protect life at 15 weeks with full exceptions where a baby can feel pain, and I think this is a reasonable place for us to land.
