Abortion Drugs & Practices

A proposed constitutional amendment in Virginia, presented as protecting reproductive freedom, would establish abortion as a fundamental right and could invalidate existing parental consent laws and third-trimester abortion restrictions.

Instead of focusing on efforts to protect women and children from the harms of abortion, the Virginia General Assembly has spent the past two years prioritizing the financial interests of the abortion industry, ensuring a continuous stream of revenue from unrestricted abortions.
