Virginia's three amendments drew mixed results in 21 cities, counties

(The Center Square) – Danville voters backed Virginia’s amendments on abortion access and voting rights on Election Day. About 52% voted against removing the state’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

Every one of those communities backed the reproductive freedom amendment. The amendment protects decisions about abortion, birth control, miscarriage care and other reproductive healthcare. It also changes when Virginia can prohibit an abortion in the third trimester. Emporia and Charles City, Greensville and Prince Edward counties voted the same way as Danville, according to the analysis . In places such as York and Goochland counties, voters backed the reproductive freedom and marriage amendments but said no to the voting rights measure.
