Jason Miyares: Against Reproductive Freedom in Virginia

Jason Miyares has built his career opposing abortion rights, attacking Planned Parenthood, and siding with extremist anti-abortion groups. His record shows he cannot be trusted to protect Virginians’ reproductive freedom.

❌ Supported an Abortion Ban

In 2023, Miyares endorsed Governor Youngkin’s proposal to ban abortion:
“I agree with the governor.”

❌ Consistently Voted Against Reproductive Freedom 

As a delegate, Miyares repeatedly voted against reproductive freedom:

• Voted against the Reproductive Health Protection Act, which repealed medically unnecessary restrictions. LIS Virginia, HB 980 (2020)
• Voted against legislation affirming that FDA-approved birth control is not abortion. LIS Virginia, HB552 (2020)
• Voted to defund Planned Parenthood. LIS Virginia, HB2264 (2017)

---

❌ Urged SCOTUS to Overturn Roe v. Wade

• In 2022, Miyares withdrew Virginia from a legal brief opposing Mississippi’s abortion ban, reversing the state’s previous support for abortion rights.

• He urged the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

---

❌ Partnered with Anti-Abortion Extremists

• Just recently, Miyares spoke on a webinar hosted by David Bereit (co-founder of the anti-abortion group 40 Days for Life) and the Family Foundation.The call focused on stopping Virginia’s reproductive freedom amendment. 

The Bottom Line

Jason Miyares has:

• Repeatedly voted against contraception protections and abortion access.
• Worked to overturn Roe v. Wade and celebrated the Dobbs decision.
• Partnered with anti-abortion extremists like the Family Foundation.
• Supported Gov. Youngkin’s abortion ban.

Virginians deserve leaders who will protect their rights, health, and freedom — not politicians like Jason Miyares who will take them away. That’s why Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, Vote Pro-Choice, and Reproductive Freedom for All have endorsed Jay Jones for Attorney General.
