Tell Legislators: No to Article 22 (Proposal 5)

Email your legislators: Say NO to Article 22 Amending the VT Constitution

Vermont Legislators will soon vote on Article 22, also known as Proposal 5, which would enshrine Late Term, Anything Goes abortion in the Vermont Constitution – the only state with such provisions. Please use the form at the right to take 30 seconds to send an email to your legislator(s) rejecting Article 22.

In addition to guaranteeing late-term, up-to-birth abortion, Article 22 would also force doctors and nurses to perform abortions – regardless of their personal beliefs or medical judgment.

Article 22 will prohibit parental involvement in the reproductive medical choices of minor children, including abortion and sterilization.

If Article 22 passes the legislature, future generations of voters won’t be able to undo it, as a repeal would need to originate with legislators, not the people.

For all these reasons, please take 30 seconds to send an email rejecting Article 22 (aka Proposal 5), then share this page to your friends. By default, all elected officials in Vermont may be selected in the form, though the message need only be sent to your State Representative(s) if you wish to de-select other officials. Thank you.

In this legislative session, you will be voting on Article 22, a proposed amendment to the Vermont Constitution. As a constituent, I urge you to vote “No” on this amendment.

Article 22 would enshrine Late-Term Abortion into the Vermont Constitution, a procedure that involves terminating a fully-developed infant that may be just days, or even hours, away from delivery. Infants at that stage of development are fully capable of feeling pain, and can easily survive outside the womb.

80% of Americans oppose this inhumane procedure, including 68% of pro-choice Americans, according to a 2019 poll by YouGov.

Article 22 would also force doctors and nurses to perform abortions – including Late-Term ones – that violate their conscience. This would lead to some of Vermont’s most talented doctors and nurses leaving the state at a time when our hospital system is already strained.

Parental rights will also be impacted, guaranteeing minor children are allowed to opt for reproductive procedures such as abortions or sterilizations without parental consent or notification.

For Vermont to enshrine these policies in the Constitution would be barbaric and put our state out of step with the rest of the nation.

As a constituent, I urge you to vote “No!”

Thank you.
