Legislative Report Card 2023

How Did Your Legislator Vote On Reproductive Rights and Justice?

Learning how our policymakers vote is critical to changing the political landscape to reflect West Virginians’ actual support of reproductive health, rights, and justice.

This report card shows how every member of the West Virginia Legislature voted on several key bills during the 2023 legislative session.

The bills showcased here are as follows (note: SB = a bill introduced in the Senate bill; HB = a bill introduced in the House).

HB 3018: Define Minimum Age for Marriage in WV

HB 3018, defining a minimum age of 16 years old, with parental consent, for marriage in WV. We supported this as a step in the right direction; but it’s important to acknowledge the original bill called for the minimum age to be 18 years old.

SB 552: State-Mandated Lies about Abortion & Political Overreach into Litigation

SB 552 was the major anti-abortion bill of the session. It would have required health care providers to tell dangerous lies to their patients. In the end, it became a vehicle to challenge litigation aimed at restoring abortion rights. We opposed this.
