California voters to decide on enshrining abortion protections into state constitution
The California State Assembly on Monday voted to pass SCA 10, a resolution that would let voters in November decide whether or not to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution.
If passed by voters in the upcoming November election, an amendment would be added to the California constitution prohibiting the state from “denying or interfering with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions.” The amendment also prohibits the state from denying or interfering with an individual's right to choose or refuse contraceptives.
The amendment was introduced by Senate pro Tempore Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, following the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion in May suggesting Roe v. Wade be overturned.
