Why the model tagged it this way: The bill proposes a Texas constitutional amendment creating a right to personal reproductive autonomy that bars state restrictions on abortion up to 24 weeks, post-24-week abortions to preserve life/health or per exceptions, and contraception; it is submitted to voters as a ballot measure.
