Virginia is on the brink of making history once again. In only a week’s time, the opportunity for individual citizens to change the course of our state’s place in the current struggle to protect human life begins in earnest.
Early voting begins on September 18th.
Every single vote matters because a simple majority will defeat the Unlimited Abortion amendment. No one who cares about protecting vulnerable lives can skip this vote. Not only are unborn children’s lives at risk but also the women we love.
The dangerous and vague language of the actual amendment will create an environment of grave risk for minor girls because it threatens Virginia’s Parental consent law. It places every pregnant woman in harm’s way by removing requirements ensuring that only licensed Virginia doctors perform abortions or dispense abortion drugs.

No matter what we think about legal abortion, no one should be comfortable with that sort of risk. It also removes any way to hold accountable those who cause injury, coerce, or harm a woman in the process. Mothers and babies both need protection under the law. Voting No is the only way we can ensure that.
Ballot question 1 is an example of how pro-abortion officials are hoping to successfully deceive the public. The wording is sly and deceptive. It is written in a manner to hide the actual intention of the amendment that was passed in the General Assembly. The sole purpose of the language of the resolution is to allow unregulated abortion up to birth. It is not about maternal health, post partum care, or any other female health concern.
So, make a plan to be a part of making history, Gather your family, your friends and your co-workers. Get out and vote. Vote Early and take no chances that you might miss this moment!
