West Virginia HJR36 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to enshrine the right to reproductive freedom, including decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, pregnancy continuation, miscarriage care, and abortion. The amendment specifies that the state cannot interfere with these rights unless it uses the least restrictive means to advance health, in line with evidence-based standards. Abortion is allowed until fetal viability, defined as the point when the fetus has a significant likelihood of survival outside the uterus.
