Making Virginia’s Constitution an Abortion

Every abortion is a bloody mess. Virginia Democrats are making a mess of the Virginia Constitution with a “Right to Reproductive Freedom. They’re determined to make killing a baby in the womb an “individual” right. Abortion, per se, is an abomination to our Virginia Constitution. Additionally, medical procedures which beg governing should be addressed by legislation alone. Finally, the weasel wording is unfit for Virginia’s Constitution

Constitutional Rights. The individual rights listed in the Bill of Rights are God-Given Rights. They’re listed explicitly to limit Government power. Their authority is traceable through British history and Western Civilization thought to the Holy Bible. Their origin in Old and New Testament Scripture makes them Judeo-Christian.

The thread of British history since the Magna Charta limited government, American Enlightenment, and American Revolution, and shaped our idea of Individual Rights as uniquely American. And, it’s specifically American to proclaim our Rights as God-Given. This God is acknowledged in Article I, Bill of Rights, Virginia Constitution citing “our Creator.”

Then, how does abortion square up as a God-Given Right? The Declaration of Independence declares an individual Right to Life as well as Article I of our Virginia Constitution. Life, not death, not killing, is a God-Given Right. Abortion means death. Abortion requires killing. Since there is no God-Given Right to kill babies in the womb, it’s wrong to make killing a Constitutional Amendment.

Constitution vs. Legislation. Abortion is in Chapter 4, Crimes Against the Person, Section 18 of the Code of Virginia. That law allows abortion through the second trimester. Legal restrictions apply in the last trimester. Likewise, the Abortion Amendment proposes “Commonwealth may regulate the provision of abortion care in the third trimester” with a huge loophole. So, why change anything?

A Constitutional Amendment isn’t needed if the law already allows abortion. The Supreme Court reversal of Roe v Wade (Dobbs Decision) appropriately returned abortion as an issue to the states.

At the least, the Abortion Amendment is political ploy because it is harder to change the Virginia Constitution than to change a Virginia law.

More sinister is the abject evil of inserting the ancient pagan murder of innocents among our modern God-Given Rights.

Subject to Judicial Tyranny. The Abortion Amendment is 299 words. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is 45 words. The Second Amendment is 27 words. The Amendment is a word salad. Judges will make up law as they go along interpreting its sloppy language. The weasel wording is a legal free fire zone to do wrong.

There’s no legal definition to “reproductive freedom.” Because it doesn’t exist in law.

How is “abortion care” care? Define that.

Does the right to not be “burdened or infringed” mean pregnancy crisis centers can’t talk to pregnant woman about the alternative to abortion? It’s more than likely a Liberal judge will rule so.

What is postpartum care mean? Is that letting a late-term baby die on a plate?

Current law requires viable life be protected. The amendment makes no such requirement.

Moreover, the same doctors who mutilate and maim children pretending to change their gender can perform a barbaric partial-birth abortion for the “mental health” of the mother.

What does “enforcement” of this right mean? What new power is given to government?

Protection for an “individual aiding and assisting” means Public Schools can persuade and promote abortions – as already seen in Fairfax County. Yet, there’s no provision for parental information, let alone consent. Virginia orders parents out of decisions for children under the age of 18.

The ”clinical standards of care and evidence-based medicine” in the Amendment” beg definition. Afterwards, how will they change over time? Be consumed in controversy? How often will they be as wrong medically as bleeding out “bad humors” was?

Finally, the Amendment itself admits some parts may be Un-Constitutional when it includes a severability clause.

The “fundamental right to reproductive freedom” is fundamentally an unnecessary legal abortion to our Virginia Constitution.

Vote NO, Virginia.
