Annisa Lamberton, founding member of Vermont Family Alliance

Parents and children, and ultimately our society, will be harmed by passage of Article 22 the language that is intended to amend the Vermont Constitution.

However, parents in our state must be alerted to look at the even wider ramifications, such as the damage Proposal 5 will force on our familial relationships, our laws, our schools, and our rights as citizens. This broadly worded proposal to amend our constitution uses the phrase “personal reproductive autonomy.” The phrase is increasingly becoming a catch-all for controlling free speech or promoting identity ideology, legalizing “sex work”, and mandating race relations theories, as well as establishing school policies allowing secrets that can be kept from parents about their children’s emotional, social, and physical health.  

Parents, who best know their children, who most love their children, and who are most attentive to the best interests of their children, will face fighting legalized secrets about their children held by schools or clinics on topics such as pregnancy/STD testing, chemical and surgical abortions, hormone treatments, and social identities/pronouns used with their children of ALL ages.  Proposal 5 is a wedge between parent and child that creates risks for a life-time.  Most urgently, Proposal 5 and those who support it are, willingly or unwittingly, supporting harm to parental legal rights, parent-child relationships, and child safety.  The generational harm will be devastating to a healthy Vermont.  If “children are our future,” for the sake of all our futures, please stop passage of Proposal 5 and the dreadful outcomes for Vermont’s constitution and the families it should protect.

Email Legislators - No to Article 22

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.
