Californians are voting now through Election Day on whether to approve a state constitutional amendment that would guarantee the right to abortion and contraception.
to amend the constitution on the Nov. 8 ballot days just after the court ruled in June that states could decide whether to allow abortion.
“The challenge is we had a very short runway, so it really is about awareness. We know when people are aware that abortion is on the ballot, they’re likely to come out and vote for it,” said Jodi Hicks, president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, which supports the measure. “Californians don't support late term abortions,” said Catherine Hadro, spokesperson for the No on Prop. 1 campaign.
A September survey by the Public Policy Institute of California found 69% of likely voters would support the proposition, including 33% of Republicans. An August poll by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, found that 71% of registered voters would vote yes.
Before Roe was overturned, the overwhelming majority of abortions in the United States — around 90% — occurred in the first trimester or at 13 weeks or earlier, said Katrina Kimport, associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. An estimated 1% of abortions occurred at 21 weeks or later, she said.
