JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: CAMPAIGN MANAGER VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT ONE COALITION Charleston, WV
This past legislative session, the West Virginia legislature passed Senate Joint Resolution 12, placing a referendum on the ballot this November entitled "Amendment No. 1, No Constitutional right to abortion Amendment." If a majority of the electorate votes for it, the West Virginia Constitution will be amended to read "Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of abortion."
Amendment 1 is the single most extreme attack on women's health in West Virginia history. If it it passes, it would be the first time in state history that we will have stripped people of their existing constitutional rights. Amendment 1 is part of a long-term strategy by hardline politicians to outlaw safe, legal abortion in the United States. In pushing to get Amendment 1 on the ballot this November, cynical legislators were playing politics with West Virginians' lives believing this ballot measure would turn out the most extreme members of their base.
The Campaign Manager has the opportunity to lead an unprecedented campaign that will protect the state constitution and West Virginia women.
