Among the negative effects amendment HJ 1/SJ 247 will have on the citizens of Virginia, the language allows no protection for minors and no regulation of abortion until the third trimester and even that is very limited. Like other states that have passed similar amendments, this will tie up the courts with lawsuits challenging current regulations. Abortion is already allowed in Virginia, there is no reason to go to this extreme.

Please tell your neighbors and friends to contact their state legislators and tell them that this amendment goes way too far.
