No on Amendment 1

This November, voters in the Commonwealth of Virginia will face a Constitutional Amendment that will enshrine the right abortion in our state Constitution. The Amendment is extreme: likely stopping all safeguards, parental notifications, and provisions to protect women and babies.

Catholics and all people of good will have a moral obligation to oppose this amendment and to share our love for life, our duty to protect women, and our responsibility to let what we know and believe - that all life is sacred - be the guiding force in our vote and our evangelization.
