-
This declares that reproductive freedom is a “fundamental right,” which it defines as including “prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, abortion care, miscarriage management, and fertility care.” The amendment says “the Commonwealth may regulate the provision of abortion care in the third trimester, provided that in no circumstance shall the Commonwealth prohibit an abortion” if a doctor seems such a procedure necessary. You can read the full language of the amendment here.
-
Virginia is one of only two states where felons are permanantly barred from voting unless the governor intervenes. This amendment would automatically restore those rights after a sentence has been served. You can read the full language of the amendment here.
-
The U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 upheld the right to a same-sex marriage. However, the Virginia constitution still retains now-moot language banning same-sex marriage, the so-called Marshall-Newman Amendment of 2006. This amendment would repeal that previous amendment and add language to guarantee the right to a same-sex marriage in case the U.S. Supreme Court ever reverses itself. You can read the full language of the amendment here.
Watch this brief introduction to the journey ahead.
More than sixty years ago, ordinary Americans came together to expand the promise of democracy.
Today, that same spirit of service and civic engagement is inspiring a new generation of volunteers here in Virginia Beach.
Soon we'll unveil new opportunities to volunteer, educate voters, engage our neighborhoods, and help shape Virginia Beach's future.
A Legacy Continues. A New Chapter Begins.
"In a democracy, we are supposed to have a government that represents us…not just the powerful."
