1 claim
Carroll Foy is a pro-choice Democrat who has made reproductive rights a core platform plank throughout her career in the House of Delegates (2017–2020), her 2021 gubernatorial campaign, and her current State Senate role; she won the endorsement of pro-abortion organizations, has supported the Democratic majority's push to enshrine abortion access in state statute, and explicitly called for treating abortion and reproductive healthcare as a protected right rather than recognizing personhood from conception.
