Californians have accepted Proposition 1, which is able to amend the state structure to enshrine entry to abortion and contraception all through the state.
Democrats rallied round Prop. 1 to gin up turnout in a midterm election which in any other case might have been outlined by troubling financial headwinds. Hillary Clinton even visited the Bay Space final month to rally help.
Prop. 1 backers, together with pro-choice teams and the California Democratic get together, say that enshrining abortion rights within the state’s structure is crucial after the the Supreme courtroom overturned Roe v. Wade final summer season, ending nationwide abortion protections.
Teams against Prop. 1, together with pro-life teams and the California Republican get together, say that the measure is pointless given the state’s already-existing protections for abortion entry. Additionally they declare the proposition is vaguely written and will increase entry to late-term abortion therapies, although specialists say that's unfaithful.
