Reproductive Freedom Amendment

A vote for yes approves adding a fundamental right to reproductive freedoms to the state constitution, enshrining the rights to IVF, birth control, and abortion access in Virginia.

It would put a constitutional right to make personal decisions about reproductive health care into the Virginia Constitution, including:

• contraception

• pregnancy and prenatal care

• childbirth

• postpartum care

• miscarriage management

• abortion

• fertility care

It would also protect patients and health-care professionals from being punished for making or providing those decisions.

There is a specific abortion limitation: the proposed amendment permits the legislature to restrict abortion in the third trimester, except when the patient’s health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive.

I don't think government should dictate private health decisions between a doctor and their pregnant patient.

We need reproductive freedom because women are literally dying without it. I will dig into the amendment and ensure it protects women.

Duh
