Riley writes about Jim Gilmore’s position on abortion.
To which I ask:
Most conservative Republicans seem to support the idea that abortion should be an issue of state law, not Federal law, through the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Properly considered, this isn’t even an issue the Senate should be dealing with.
To me, it’s like asking a candidate for the Prince William Board of Supervisors his position on Iranian nuclear weapons.
