The government wants to take over more of mom and dad’s jobs; this time, it is a matter of life and death. The proposed “Fundamental Right to Reproductive Freedom” is an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that, if approved, would enshrine abortion at any age and gestational stage as a fundamental right that shall not be “denied, burdened or infringed upon.”
While parents are considered responsible parties by schools, courts, and insurance companies regarding their children’s health and well-being, their rights to decision-making on behalf of their underage children would be stripped away by this amendment. Parents of underaged children are not even mentioned. They are therefore sidelined and ignored in favor of the “individual’s autonomous decision making.” Does it strike you
