The lack of clarity and definition in Proposal 5 leaves the words ‘personal reproductive autonomy’ open to interpretation. Taken broadly, these words can encompass…polygamy, pedophilia, child pornography, rape, infanticide, abortion through nine months by minors without parental notification, human trafficking, and prostitution. It is the duty of the legislative body to write proposals in a way that does not force the people of Vermont to trust that a judge agrees with the people’s intended interpretation of ‘personal reproductive autonomy.”

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.
