These amendments remind me of the disastrous Prop 1 in New York in 2024. The amendments use broad and vague wording. The effect of the amendments reaches far beyond what it seems. The “Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment” does not exclude the “fundamental right to reproductive freedom” based on age, thereby potentially nullifying statutory rape laws. https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/22/virginias-abortion-amendment-would-strike-down-statutory-rape-laws-warns-lawsuit-seeking-invalidate-deceptive-language/
I fear these amendments will be used to criminalize the dissent coming from Christianity and Judaism, leaving wokeism as the only allowable worldview in the eyes of the state. Wokeism may not be an official religion, but it operates as one. Adherents seem to believe that theirs is the only right and virtuous voice. And they once again appear to be hell-bent on silencing the opposition and possibly prosecuting them if they fail to buy-in.
