Direction

Abortion ballot constitutionalAI label

Expands abortion access model confidence 90%

Proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a right to personal reproductive autonomy that the state may not restrict or prohibit unless justified by a compelling state interest using the least restrictive means, which would protect and expand legal access to abortion.

Each individual residing in this state has the right to personal reproductive autonomy, and this state recognizes that right as central to the individual's liberty and dignity to determine the individual's own life course. This state may not restrict or prohibit the exercise of that right unless the restriction or prohibition is justified by a compelling state interest that is achieved using the least restrictive means available.

Why the model tagged it this way: The joint resolution proposes adding a constitutional right to personal reproductive autonomy with strict scrutiny for any state restrictions, which would expand abortion access by creating a high bar for limits on reproductive decisions including abortion; it also provides for a ballot proposition to enact this change.
