Re: “Vermont House Passes Abortion-Rights Protections”
It is official. The Vermont Democrat Party now holds the dubious distinction of being the party of unlimited, unrestricted and unregulated abortion-on-demand throughout pregnancy. Common sense amendments to protect minor girls, to limit abortions on unborn babies in the later stages of development, to provide informed consent (including alternatives to abortion), to providing regulation and inspection of abortion clinics, and other amendments, all went down to defeat by a Democrat-led, super-majority in the House.
Pro-abortion Democrat legislators walked in lock step with Planned Parenthood and the ACLU as they read on the House floor the talking points that were rather obviously provided to them by both pro-abortion organizations.

Re: “Can I Get an Amend? Vermont Legislature to Consider Abortion, Slavery and Equal Rights Amendments”
There is a lot to think about here. Only seven countries allow abortions after 20 weeks - when science informs us that unborn babies can survive outside the womb - and those abortions are also banned because an unborn babiy can feel the pain of their dismemberment death in a D&E abortion.
Amending the Vermont Constitution to enshrine abortion will mean that there will be no protection for any unborn baby....no matter how painful, senseless and gruesome the procedure......and perfectly legal for parents to abort a baby girl when they only desire a son.
For the Democrats/ Progessives and some Republicans, lives matter if they fall into certian categories - African American, a person living with disabilities, transgender, female, disabled and others... but if a human being is not yet born, their lives will have zero value under the Vermont Constitution once the pro-abortion legislators have their way.

Re: “Means to Amend: Senate Seeks to Enshrine Abortion Rights in Vermont Constitution”
John Walters, Vermont Right to Life will never raise the white flag of surrender.
As you pointed out in your article, amending the Constitution is a long process, and the vote in the Senate is just the beginning - not the end.
