Endorsement: Yes on Prop 1. Even in progressive California, abortion rights need constitutional protection (via latimesopinion)
California lawmakers consider a dozen bills that will help prepare the state to be a haven for people seeking abortions.of the constitutional amendment is brief and to the point, stating: “The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives.”Catholic Conference and the Republican Party of California.
argue the amendment is too broad and vague and would override the existing law, which limits abortions to pre-fetal viability unless the pregnant person is at risk. The California bishops say the unrestrictive language would encourage and protect late-term abortions. Proponents say that the constitutional amendment does not grant unfettered access to abortion. Instead it lays out the fundamental right to abortion in a broad framework which legislators can fill in with reasonable regulations or restrictions. The amendment does not override the current law — restricting elective abortions to pre-viability.
In fact, legislators could change the law right now and make it less restrictive. Or they could change the law and make it more restrictive. Neither has happened. But here is the key reason to vote for the measure: When a constitutional amendment is in place, any restriction that violates a right to abortion won’t survive a court challenge without an extraordinary justification.
This amendment makes clear that the right to abortion in California will be preserved against future political shifts. That is something every voter should support. Vote yes on Proposition 1.
