Vote Yes on 1 - Virginia’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment

⚡ TL; DR (too long, didn’t read): Vote Yes on 1


If you care about reproductive freedom, you need to know about Virginia’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment.

This November, Virginia voters can permanently protect the right to abortion, birth control, miscarriage treatment, IVF, and access to a full spectrum of reproductive health care by voting YES on 1.

No one should have to deal with the government interfering in their medical decisions—especially those for reproductive health care.

 

🤿 Dive Into the Details: What is Virginia’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment?


The Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment would add reproductive freedom protections to Virginia’s state constitution.

Voting YES on 1 would protect the right to abortion, birth control, miscarriage treatment, IVF, and access to a full spectrum of reproductive health care in Virginia. It would also help ensure health care providers can continue caring for their patients without political interference.

When it comes to decisions about pregnancy and reproductive health care, patients and their families—not politicians—should be the ones making those decisions.

🔎 A Closer Look: Virginia is a Critical Access Point for Care


Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, anti-abortion politicians have banned or severely restricted abortion in nearly two dozen states. Virginia has become one of the few states in the South where people can still access abortion care.

Passing the Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment will help ensure Virginia remains a safe haven for reproductive health care while protecting patients and providers from future attacks on reproductive freedom.

By adding reproductive freedom to Virginia’s constitution, voters can help protect these rights for future generations—regardless of who holds office or controls the state legislature.

Together we can secure the future of reproductive freedom for all Virginians!

 

🛩️ The Big Picture: Let’s Secure Virginia as a Reproductive Freedom Safe Haven


Virginia voters have already shown they support reproductive freedom.

In 2025, voters elected reproductive freedom champions across the Commonwealth and secured a reproductive freedom majority in the House of Delegates—making this constitutional amendment possible.

Now, Virginians have the opportunity to finish the job by voting YES on 1 and permanently protecting reproductive freedom in the state constitution.

⚠️  The Stakes: Why Voting Yes Matters


When it comes to something as personal and complicated as pregnancy, politicians are never more qualified to make health care decisions than pregnant people and their doctors.

And health care providers should not have to risk criminal prosecution just to treat a patient.

By voting YES on 1, Virginians can help protect abortion and reproductive freedom for future generations while sending a clear message that deeply personal medical decisions belong to patients and their doctors—not politicians.
