Candidate affirms life begins at conception and personhood from conception
1 claim
Rodney Willett voted for Virginia's Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment (HJR 1) in both the 2025 and 2026 General Assembly sessions. The amendment codifies access to abortion, contraception, miscarriage management, and fertility treatments as constitutional rights. It passed the House 64-34 along party lines, with Willett voting yes as a member of the Democratic caucus, directly opposing any life-at-conception standard.
