Jason Miyares pays fealty to rabid anti-abortion, anti-LGBT bigots at the Family Foundation

Those Family Foundation folks that Jason Miyares is aligned with, they are the living, breathing definition of rabid.

How rabid?

For starters, of course, this Family Foundation supports a nationwide, and total, abortion ban.

Wonder how that polls in Virginia, where Jason Miyares is running for re-election, to a second term as our attorney general?

(Hint: 62 percent support a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights.)

The folks there also make it a sport of targeting abortion clinics for harassment, of staff and patients.

They oppose same-sex marriage, as if that’s any of their business.

(Even one of Miyares’s ticketmates, John Reid, an openly gay man who is the Republican Party candidate for lieutenant governor, supports gay marriage. Awkward.)

Obviously, the Foundationers are ecstatic that the Trump administration and the MAGA Congress voted to defund Planned Parenthood.

Maybe the best item on their ledger, though – they’ve equated IVF to “child trafficking.”

While, naturally, being silent on the actual child trafficking involving Donald Trump’s best friend for three decades, this guy named Jeffrey Epstein, recorded history’s most prolific child rapist, who Trump has told us he got made at because Epstein “stole” a 16-year-old girl from him in 2000.


ICYMI


You can call yourself “pro-life” all you want, but if you’re casting your lot with the likes of these Family Foundation people, and this Jason Miyares guy, who is continuing to exercise his right to remain silent on the Epstein sex-trafficking ring, you’re only fooling yourself, because the rest of us know.

Anyway, MAGA, your guy, Jason Miyares, was an “expert presenter” this week at an event hosted by the Family Foundation.

The event was focused on stopping Virginia’s abortion amendment “dead in its tracks” before it reaches voters in 2026.

Miyares, in his remarks, told the Foundation set that he is “excited to see the work they’ll continue to do and the lasting impact it will have on our Commonwealth.”

Now I’ll turn my attention to center and left-of-center voters: you know what you need to do.

“After one look at MAGA Miyares’ long, extreme record of restricting abortion access, it’s no surprise that he continues to cozy up with anti-abortion extremists trying to derail Virginians’ fundamental right to abortion access. Virginians deserve to know: will MAGA Miyares respect voters’ decision to protect abortion rights, or will he abuse his powers as the chief legal officer to pursue an extreme anti-abortion agenda?”

That was Georgia Greenleaf, the spokesperson for Jay Jones, the Democrat running against Miyares in the 2025 general election.

Early voting opens Sept. 19.
