Why the model tagged it this way: The bill proposes a Texas constitutional amendment creating a right to personal reproductive autonomy that expressly protects abortion up to 24 weeks (and with exceptions thereafter), contraception, and IVF; this expands abortion access relative to current Texas law and protects IVF from personhood restrictions, while the ballot measure itself is neutral on the axis.
