Voters in the American state of Virginia have approved a constitutional amendment enshrining the right to abortion, while allowing restrictions during the last three months of pregnancy. Republicans opposed the measure, arguing that its wording provides absolute and unrestricted access to abortions, while Democrats argued that the amendment is consistent with current law, which requires parental notification in cases of minors, and imposes restrictions on abortions after the first six months of pregnancy.
