Americans Vote for Abortion

During Tuesday’s elections, Americans in three states voted to make abortion easier.

In Virginia, nearly two thirds of voters approved the Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment.

• It protects women and doctors from any legal punishment for aborting babies, even in the third trimester—something illegal in many countries because a baby can survive outside the womb at that point. This will now be allowed if a doctor deems the mother’s “mental health” is at stake, a notoriously low bar, or any abortion where a physician judges the baby will not survive.
• The amendment grants this right to “every individual” without distinction for age. It permits restrictions only “for the limited purpose of maintaining or improving the health” of the patient, and only if they do not “infringe on that individual’s autonomous decision-making.” Opponents argue that this standard will strike down parental-consent and informed-consent laws.

Nevada requires voters to approve constitutional amendments twice before they are enforced. Voters first approved an abortion amendment in 2024, and nearly two thirds did so this week. Now, the Nevada constitution will state:

All individuals shall have a fundamental right to abortion performed or administered by a qualified health-care practitioner until fetal viability, or when needed to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient, without interference from the state or its political subdivisions.

• Note: They can’t even bring themselves to say “pregnant woman.”
• In 1990, Nevada voters affirmed a 1973 abortion law that allowed for killing a child in the womb up until he or she was 24 weeks old. Yet Nevadans still thought it was worth the effort to enshrine it in the state constitution in 2026.

Missouri narrowly approved a constitutional amendment in 2024 that establishes a right to “reproductive freedom.” This week, a ballot measure to repeal that amendment was defeated, 55.5 percent to 44.5 percent.

Idaho was the one exception, rejecting a proposition to give “every person” the “right to reproductive freedom and privacy,” 56 percent to 44 percent.

Abortion is murder. That fact is decided not by popular vote but by the one and only Giver of life, Almighty God. Americans’ rejection of the true God includes not only leaders but also voters protecting killers and killing babies by the millions.
