Late-term, anything-goes abortion does NOT belong in the Vermont Constitution.
Our doctors and nurses deserve better than to be forced to choose between engaging in abortion and keeping their jobs.
We're rallying Vermonters of all political backgrounds to oppose this constitutional amendment.
Will you sign on in opposition to late-term, anything-goes Abortion and Proposal 5 today?
Rep. Vicki Strong
Vermonters for Good Government Action
Declaration of Opposition
I Say NO to Proposal 5/Article 22
Whereas:
Late-term Abortion involves terminating a fully-developed infant and is unacceptable to Vermonters; and
Whereas:
80% of Americans oppose terminating a baby the day before it’s born, including 68% of pro-choice Americans; and
Whereas:
Parental notification in these matters would be prohibited, and doctors and nurses will be forced to perform abortions against their medical judgment or risk losing their jobs; and
Whereas:
The vague language of Article 22 could create unforseen consequences with litigation, spurring judges to rewrite the laws.
Therefore:
I oppose amending the Vermont Constitution with the language of Article 22/Proposal 5.
