THE REPRODUCTIVE LIBERTY AMENDMENT HAS PASSED!
PLEASE SEE OUR STATEMENT ➡️
Vermont voters made history tonight by passing the Reproductive Liberty Amendment. Vermonters support reproductive freedom in all four corners of the state, and they believe that our reproductive decisions are ours to make without interference from politicians. Approximately half of the United States is in the process of banning or greatly restricting abortion rights, and other reproductive and sexual health services could be on the line.
Here in Vermont, voters took responsibility to protect care wherever possible. With Roe v. Wade being overturned, state-level protections are vital to safeguarding access to reproductive health care, and Vermont has set an example of what is possible. We are grateful to Vermont voters for their overwhelming support of these fundamental human rights.
