14th amendment

Article I, Section 15-A of the Virginia Constitution, known as the Marshall/Newman Amendment, limits marriage to the union of one man and one woman. It also barred same-sex couples from marrying in Virginia and prohibited recognition of same-sex marriages that were performed in other jurisdictions.

In MKB Management Corp. v. Stenehjem, 795 F.3d 768 (2015), the Red River Women’s Clinic (a subsidiary of MKB Management Corp.), was the only abortion provider in the state of North Dakota. MKB Management Corp. challenged a North Dakota law that prohibited abortions following the detection of a fetal heartbeat.
