In 2025 Virginia elected a Democrat governor and House of Delegates.
This makes it practically certain that in 2026, the legislature will approve, for a second time, that an extreme abortion amendment will be put before the voters in November.

RICHMOND, Va. – Today, a resolution to amend the Virginia Constitution to establish a fundamental right to reproductive freedom passed out of the General Assembly. Today’s vote was the last step in the legislative process for the 2025 General Assembly session, and is the first step in a two-year constitutional amendment process to protect Virginians’ right to make decisions regarding their own reproductive health care without government interference. Today’s vote guarantees that the amendment will move to the next stage of the legislative referral process, which requires the resolution to pass the General Assembly again in 2026 before ultimately appearing on the ballot for voters to approve in November 2026.
