Voters across California will weigh in Tuesday on a ballot measure that would formally establish a right to reproductive freedom, most notably the right to an abortion, in the state constitution.
Proposition 1 was drafted by the state Legislature as a direct response to the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, which had established the federal right to an abortion for nearly 50 years.
He called the proposition"our opportunity to turn to California voters -- who have strongly supported abortion rights -- and let them enshrine this crucial right in California's Constitution." "When politicians and judges force themselves into that room, safety goes out the window," Atkins said."... Today, we provide a ray of hope by enabling voters to enshrine reproductive rights in our constitution, reflecting California's values and protecting all who need abortion, contraceptives, and other reproductive care in our state."
