Virginia's Radical Abortion Amendment Sparks Outrage Among Conservatives
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 5 hours ago
Virginia's legislative assembly is currently facing backlash over a radical proposal that could enshrine unrestricted access to abortion into the state constitution.
The Democrat-controlled General Assembly has advanced an amendment that would affirm a legal "right" to abortion, raising significant concerns among pro-life advocates.
If approved by a simple majority of voters this November, the amendment would extend the right to include abortions in the third trimester, provided a physician asserts the mother’s health is in jeopardy or the unborn child is deemed "not viable."
This proposal has sparked outrage among conservatives and pro-life groups, who argue it would erase any semblance of parental consent and undermine safety standards for women.
Virginia has already seen a dramatic rise in abortion rates, with a 126% increase in the last seven years. Furthermore, neighboring states with pro-life laws have led to a surge of women from out of state seeking abortion services in Virginia.
The Family Foundation of Virginia has launched a "Stop Unlimited Abortion" campaign aimed at thwarting this proposed amendment, citing serious implications for both unborn children and their mothers.
Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation, expressed her concerns during an interview, stating, "Currently, there's a sense that parental involvement is required when a young girl considers an abortion, but this amendment would override that."
Cobb emphasized that the language surrounding the amendment is deceptively framed as merely codifying Roe v. Wade, while in reality, it would further liberalize Virginia's already permissive abortion laws.
She warned that the absence of reasonable safety measures for women could lead to dire consequences. "Every abortion is the taking of a child’s life, and we still don’t want to have the possibility of losing two lives when she walks into that abortion facility,” Cobb asserted.
Moreover, the proposed amendment could shield abortionists from prosecution, thereby complicating the enforcement of pro-life laws in other states. As Cobb noted, "This is a bunch of politicians funded by the industry, bringing it forward to increase volume and reduce the safety around these procedures."
Heritage Action, a prominent conservative organization, has echoed these sentiments, urging Virginians to reject the amendment that would potentially repeal widely supported regulations. They stressed that "there is no right more fundamental than the right to life."
The upcoming electoral decision in Virginia represents a pivotal moment, not just for the state but for the entire nation, as the fight against unrestricted abortion intensifies.
As the pro-life movement continues to gain momentum, especially following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, vigilance and unity will be essential in defending the rights of the most vulnerable among us.
