Act now on fast-tracked constitutional amendments

Three Constitutional Amendment Proposals 

During the 2025 General Assembly session, three resolutions to amend Virginia’s constitution were passed:

• an extreme “right to abortion” amendment,
• an amendment to repeal the one-man/one-woman marriage provision, and
• an amendment to restore voting rights.

Opposing Extreme Abortion Amendment: The VCC opposed a resolution proposing to enshrine a “right” to abortion in Virginia’s constitution. The resolution, which would allow virtually unlimited abortion at any stage of pregnancy, passed the Senate and House. 

Protecting Marriage: The VCC opposed a resolution proposing to repeal the one-man/one-woman marriage provision in Virginia’s constitution – a provision approved by Virginia voters in 2006 with strong support by the VCC. The resolution to repeal this longstanding provision passed the Senate and House.

Restoring Voting Rights: A VCC-supported resolution proposing to amend Virginia’s constitution to guarantee the restoration of voting rights to all who have completed their sentences passed the Senate and House.

The process to amend Virginia’s constitution involves numerous steps and takes two years. At every stage, we will keep you informed and provide opportunities for you to engage. Together, let’s amplify our values and our voices!
