Why the model tagged it this way: The bill proposes a constitutional amendment creating a right to personal reproductive autonomy that bars the state from restricting or prohibiting abortion up to 24 weeks, post-24-week abortions for life/health or by general-law exception, and contraception; this expands abortion access by constitutionalizing protections and setting a 24-week limit with exceptions, and it is submitted to voters as a ballot measure.
