Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment

Virginia · November 3, 2026

What this measure does

Provide a state constitutional right to reproductive freedom, defined as "the right to make and effectuate one's own decisions about all matters related to one's pregnancy"

A yes vote means The state constitution will guarantee people the right to make their own decisions about pregnancy, and the state cannot restrict this right.
A no vote means The state constitution will not have this specific right, and lawmakers can pass laws that restrict abortion and other pregnancy-related decisions.
Simple explanation
This amendment would add a new right to your state constitution that says you get to make your own decisions about pregnancy — things like whether to continue a pregnancy, what medical care to get, and how to handle miscarriages. It's like saying the government can't tell you what to do with your own medical situation when it comes to pregnancy.
