Relating to the right to reproductive freedom with protections for health and safety

HJR 25 proposes a constitutional amendment to West Virginia's Bill of Rights, establishing a state-level right to reproductive freedom for all residents. It explicitly guarantees individuals' rights to make decisions about contraception, fertility treatment, pregnancy continuation, miscarriage care, and abortion. The amendment prohibits the state from restricting these rights unless it uses the least restrictive means to protect health under evidence-based medical standards, while allowing abortion bans after fetal viability - except when a physician deems it necessary to protect the patient's life or health. The amendment defines "fetal viability" as the point when a fetus can survive outside the womb with medical assistance, determined case-by-case by a treating physician.
