What the measure does
Today, the Virginia Constitution does not spell out a right to make decisions about reproductive care. This change would add that right, covering care such as birth control, pregnancy care, abortion, and fertility care. It would allow some rules about abortion later in pregnancy, while keeping exceptions for the pregnant person’s health and when the fetus cannot survive.
What the result means for Blacksburg
A yes vote means adding a right to make decisions about reproductive care to the Virginia Constitution, with the stated exceptions and limits on later-pregnancy abortion rules.
