STOP ARTICLE ONE
SAY NO TO CODIFYING ABORTION IN VIRGINIA’S CONSTITUTION
VA Amendment Gives Minors Access to Abortion without Parental Consent
Key Dangers of Article One
Common Wealth of Virginia Section 11a (SJR247)
Unrestricted Abortion Access
This proposal allows abortion on demand, up to the moment of birth, without meaningful restrictions, threatening the lives of viable unborn children.
Lack of Protective Measures
By prohibiting commonsense safeguards, such as parental notification and waiting periods, the bill removes critical protections for women and minors.
Shielding from Accountability
The bill provides immunity for those involved in abortion procedures, preventing accountability for malpractice or coercion.
Erosion of Parental Rights
Parents are sidelined as the bill dismisses their right to be informed or involved in their minor child’s decision to undergo an abortion.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT
SJR247 poses a grave threat to the sanctity of life in Virginia by attempting to enshrine unrestricted abortion as a fundamental right in the state’s Constitution. This proposal, disguised as a measure for reproductive freedom, undermines the protection of unborn children and disregards the moral fabric of our society. By elevating abortion to the level of inalienable rights, it erodes justice for the voiceless and compromises the integrity of our legal system.
