Virginia Legislature Votes This Week on Abortions Up to Birth Amendment

This is the week that the General Assembly opens and Virginia will likely take one step closer to becoming the abortion center of the south. Please take a moment to read the message below and do your part to speak out against this dreadful amendment.

Hundreds of Virginians are in Richmond this week to speak up for Life. If you can’t be there, please send a message to your legislator, regardless of how they voted last year on the Amendment.

Pro-abortion forces in the newly-elected 2026 General Assembly have vowed to make passage of the so called “Reproductive Freedom Act” their highest priority. The likelihood is that they will push through a vote on it in the very first days of the 2026 session, which begins today. The amendment has already completed the first step required under Virginia law: it passed the GA in 2025. Now it will get a second vote and if it passes again, it will become a ballot referendum measure at some point in 2026.

It is imperative that even though it appears that there are sufficient pro-abortion votes in the new House of Delegates and the VA Senate to pass it, the voices of pro-life Virginians must still be heard. This is especially important if you have a new Delegate! They need to know that Virginians care deeply about this matter. Also, the numbers in the Senate are still very tight. If even one Senator who voted for it last year can be convinced to change their vote and oppose the amendment it would force a tie and thereby stop the resolution. Remember, on this question the Lieutenant Governor cannot vote to break a tie.

The situation is critical. If the Amendment becomes law it will most certainly lock Virginia is a terrible situation. We will become a permanent destination for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for women from all over the South. It will remove the opportunity and responsibility of our legislators to pass even the most sensible regulations and will put women as well as their babies in harms’ way. The interpretation of the amendment by the courts will also likely force medical personnel to participate in abortion activity or quit their practices. Perhaps most alarming could be court challenges to Virginia’s Parental Consent law which will put minor girls in the hands of unscrupulous abortionists.

Virginia is no longer part of the South. They gave up that privlege with this new radical governor and legislature.

I was looking at a football game with a full stadium of a 100K people - so far, abortions have killed the equivalent of 60 of those packed stadiums - 10 stadiums equal one million babies. Something to think about.

So if you want to murder your baby 1 minute before it’s born, you can.

That is reprehensible. Every Democrat in America should have this stuck to them.

If it does not the reason will be the rats want to hold it and make it a ballot prop. They have used it all over the country because they know it will turn out an army of selfish single-issue women who also vote straight Dem while they are there.

Hitler murdered 11,500,000 people in death camps, and he’s universally reviled as history’s greatest monster.

Stalin murdered 20,000,000 people in various death camps, labor camps, and engineered famines. He has a better claim on the title “history’s greatest monster” than Hitler ... but communist propaganda protects him.

Mao Tse Tung murdered about 65,000,000 people in death camps, labor camps, purges, engineered famines, and forced displacements. Communist propaganda and obscurity protect his legacy as well.

Americans have slaughtered nearly 70,000,000 babies since 1973 ... and we have the insufferable gall to point fingers at Mao, Stalin, and Hitler.

Just another example why any vote for any Democrat anywhere anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation.

They should read Revelation 20:12-15 before they vote. And ponder those passages for a little while.

No fear of Almighty God in their eyes?

No fear of Eternal Hell Fire 🔥🔥🔥 for Slaughtering the Unborn?


At The Great White Throne Judgment, Unbelievers are Rejected. They did not choose to be written into His, The Lamb's, Book of Life.

Exactly! And to add to that horror, there are states that allow abortion right up to birth and THEN even after birth.

"Hundreds of Virginians are in Richmond this week to speak up"

Hundreds? That's all? That's it? Where is everybody?

Why is everybody dead asleep?

How did we get so much apathy?

"I was looking at a football game with a full stadium of a 100K people - so far, abortions have killed the equivalent of 60 of those packed stadiums - 10 stadiums equal one million babies. Something to think about."

I was looking at a football game with a full stadium of 100k people and then this article where hundreds of people showed up.

If the voters of Virginia care more about the latest NFL stats than this then it's the voters who are the biggest ghouls in this scenario.

Hundreds of people are showing up. Hundreds. It's absolutely sickening. Virginia's voters are diseased. There's no other conclusion we can arrive at.

Why aren't people from all over the state(VA) driving in and clogging up the streets?

These people foolishly think they can fix the world's problems from their couches.

I mention this stuff to people

I get shrugs 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷 a lot of the time

When I voted for President Donald Trump
there was a pro-life group working the line
before we got too close (where it’s not allowed)

The defeat was 52-48.

If only more church members turned out to vote.

Yeah, well, it’s not just the Democrats.

The only think required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Only hundreds of people are showing up.

I bet there’s more than a couple hundred registered republicans in the state of Virginia. In the 2024 election results, 2,075,085 people voted not for Kamala.

2,075,085 people voted not for Kamala and right now hundreds of people have showed up.

Hundreds. The amount of apathy is insane here. Lord Acton is rolling in his grave.
