Virginia lawmakers are passing bills that criminalize prayer, strip parental rights, and enshrine abortion in the state constitution. Every campaign below is a call to action — read, share, and make your voice heard.

Virginia · 2025–2026 Legislative Session  ·  Updated May 2026

Filter:
⚠️

November 3, 2026 is the most consequential election day in Virginia in a generation. Two constitutional amendments — one enshrining abortion, one on marriage — are on the ballot. Your vote on these amendments cannot be undone by any future legislature. Jump to the ballot section →

Virginia · SB 137 · 2026
🔴 Signed Into Law

Virginia's New Law Puts Faith on Trial!

Religious Liberty Pro-Life Ministry Free Speech

On April 22, 2026, Governor Spanberger signed SB 137 into law — making it a criminal offense to injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone entering or leaving a reproductive health facility. A law enforcement officer may order anyone within 25 feet of a facility entrance to immediately withdraw for up to eight hours. For years, women in crisis have been met outside these doors not by protesters, but by people offering real help — that ministry is now directly at risk. Every Senate Democrat voted yes.

Virginia · HJ 1 · November 2026 Ballot
🗳️ On November Ballot

Stop the Abortion Amendment — Abortion in the Constitution

Sanctity of Life Parental Rights Constitutional

HJ 1 would permanently enshrine a "right to reproductive freedom" — including abortion up to birth — in Virginia's constitution. Once in, it cannot be removed by any future legislature. This is the most urgent vote for Christians in November 2026.

Virginia · HB 6 · 2026
🔴 Signed Into Law

Minors Can Get Sterilized Without Parental Consent

Parental Rights Children Life

The "Right to Contraception Act" defines contraception to include abortion-inducing drugs like Plan B and Ella, and grants minors access to contraceptives — and even sterilization — without parental knowledge or consent. Signed April 12, 2026.

Virginia · HJ 3 · November 2026 Ballot
🗳️ On November Ballot

Same-Sex Marriage Constitutional Amendment

Family & Marriage Religious Liberty Constitutional

HJ 3 would enshrine same-sex marriage in Virginia's constitution, creating a competing constitutional right that courts could use to compel Christian churches, schools, and businesses to comply — even against their faith convictions.

Virginia · SB 1031 · 2025
✅ Defeated (For Now)

Bill to Destroy Religious Homeschool Exemption — STOPPED

Homeschool Religious Liberty Parental Rights

SB 1031 would have transferred authority over religious homeschool exemptions to unelected bureaucrats — letting government employees judge whether a family's faith is "real enough" to homeschool. Killed 13–2 in committee after massive pushback. Expected to return in 2027.

Virginia · HB 359 · 2026
👁 Watch List

State Control of Christian School Curricula — Paused Until 2027

Christian Schools Religious Education School Choice

HB 359 would impose government curriculum standards, testing, and oversight of religious instruction on private schools participating in scholarship tax-credit programs. Continued to the 2027 session — not defeated. This one is coming back.

November 3, 2026 — Virginia Voters Decide

The Amendments on Your Ballot

These are constitutional changes. Once passed, no future legislature can undo them. Your vote in November is the last line of defense.

Amendment 1 — HJ 1

Right to Reproductive Freedom

Would enshrine abortion — including potentially up to birth — in Virginia's constitution. Eliminates parental consent protections. Strips away health and safety standards. Passed legislature 64–34 (House) and 21–18 (Senate), strictly along party lines.

⚠️ If passed: permanent — cannot be reversed by legislature
Amendment 2 — HJ 3

Same-Sex Marriage Codified

Would remove the 2006 definition of marriage from Virginia's constitution and enshrine same-sex marriage as a constitutional right — creating legal precedent that courts can use against churches, faith-based businesses, and Christian schools.

⚠️ Implications for religious liberty in courts
Amendment 3 — HJ 2

Automatic Felon Voting Rights

Would grant immediate voting rights to felons upon release from prison, removing the current case-by-case review. Significant electoral implications for Virginia's future legislative balance of power.
