SB5 would amend the Delaware Constitution to establish a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom,” which entails, but is not limited to, “abortion care,” “contraception,” “sterilization,” “infertility care,” “miscarriage management,” and related services.
The Delaware Senate passed SB5 on March 11, 2025 by a vote of 15 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the noes because the care of human life — not its destruction — is the greatest responsibility of government. Delaware ought to entirely forbid the practice of abortion, along with other grotesque methods of population control, and uphold the sanctity of life for every person, especially preborn children. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
