Voters to Consider Codifying Right to Abortion in CA Constitution

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : 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."
47% :Opponents have also argued that making California a safe space for abortion will result in a soaring number of out-of-state patients traveling to the state to seek the procedure "at the expense of California taxpayers."
43% :Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, co-authored the measure, saying "abortion is health care" that should be discussed between a patient and doctor, not politicians.
42% : "California law already allows access to abortion and contraception," attorney Heather Hacker said in the rebuttal.
