HJR1 proposed a constitutional amendment to establish a fundamental "right to reproductive freedom" in Virginia. The amendment aimed to ensure that every individual has the right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters related to pregnancy without interference from the state. It also sought to prohibit the state from penalizing or prosecuting individuals for exercising this "right" or for aiding others in doing so.

The Virginia State Senate passed HJR1 on January 31, 2025 by a vote of 21 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. Virginia ought to forbid all methods of abortion and other grotesque methods of population control entirely 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.
