Virginia Ballot Initiatives and the Catholic Vote Importance

Amy McInerny, the Director of Respect Life at the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, discusses the significance of two ballot initiatives in Virginia. These initiatives, if passed, would remove common-sense health and safety regulations from the Virginia Constitution regarding abortion. McInerny emphasizes the potential dangers of unregulated abortion, including the possibility of unsafe medical practices and the removal of parental consent requirements for minors. She highlights the importance of voting against these amendments to protect women's health and safety, as well as the moral responsibility of Catholics to uphold the common good through their votes. McInerny also commends Bishop Urbidge for his bold stance on these issues and encourages all Catholics to engage in the electoral process to advocate for life and justice.
