After narrowly securing both the state House and Senate, Virginia Democrats are looking to codify the “right” to abortion in the state Constitution.
Virginia Democrats pre-filed the proposal to be offered on January 10, 2024, after their election victories on Nov. 7. The language of the proposal would establish a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom.” It reads:
That every individual has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom. This right to make and effectuate one’s own decisions about all matters related to one’s pregnancy shall not be denied, burdened, or infringed upon, unless justified by a compelling state interest and achieved by the least restrictive means that do not infringe an individual’s autonomous decision-making. A state interest is compelling only when it is to ensure the protection of the health of an individual seeking care, consistent with accepted clinical standards of practice and evidence-based medicine. The Commonwealth shall not discriminate in the protection or enforcement of this fundamental right.
That, except when justified by a compelling state interest, the Commonwealth shall not penalize, prosecute, or otherwise take adverse action against an individual on the basis of an actual, potential, perceived, or alleged outcome of such individual’s pregnancy, nor shall the Commonwealth penalize, prosecute, or otherwise take adverse action against an individual who aids or assists another individual, with such individual’s voluntary consent, in the exercise of such individual’s right to reproductive freedom.

Let Democrats get abortions, they make lousy parents, anyway.
They can simply come to NevaDUH. Get your purse and uterus cleaned out in a single trip. 😳
And why are they aborting their eye?
Vacuuming out a kids brains in the womb is a dem winning platform. SMDH.
The Culture of Death is really feeling their oats after their victory in Ohio. If pro-lifers across the country don’t get off their lead bottoms and put up a united fight, the results we saw in Ohio will be the same in Arkansas and other States.
For some reason, the article left out that the resolution is to amend the constitution of Virginia. That has no chance of passing. The resolution must pass at the 2025 legislative session and then the 2027 legislative session by 2/3 majority vote in the house and the Senate. Only then can it go on a November ballot for adoption by the citizens.
Education system and social media is totally controlled by the democrap party and feminists and they have brainwashed them into being single issue.
Most of these suburban women would never have an abortion themselves. There’s going to be a lot of weeping and gnashing the teeth come Judgement Day. Killing innocent lives with bloody abortions- womens right to choose crapola. Sick of the whole murderous bloodfest.
This is straight out of the 2004 Karl Rove playbook. Get out masses of people on a social issue. 2004 was gay marriage, this one is proabortion. The pro aborts want it more. Thanks, Karl.
A state interest is compelling only when it is to ensure the protection of the health of an individual seeking care.I'd say that a fetus is by definition "an individual seeking care," therefore the state is compelled to protect it from a murderous birthing vessel, or whatever it is they call a mother these days.
