California lawmakers took a step closer Monday to amending the state constitution to guarantee the right to an abortion and contraception.
The state Senate approved Senate Constitutional Amendment 10 in a 29-7 vote in a push to protect abortion rights. The bill moves to the state Assembly where two-thirds of lawmakers must approve it by June 30.
If approved, the matter will go before California voters in November. The bill would amend California's constitution to prohibit the state from "denying or interfering with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions," according to the bill's text.
"In CA, we will protect women and families, and affirm that abortion and contraception are a private matter between a patient and their medical provider," tweeted State Sen. President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, who introduced the legislation earlier this month.
The push comes as red states have passed a number of laws to restrict access to abortion and the leak of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion that showed the justice may overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed federal abortion rights.
Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California praised Monday's vote.
"We look forward to working with California Assembly leaders and members to ensure #SCA10 moves quickly so California voters have the opportunity to reaffirm their overwhelming support for abortion care and contraception, and uphold California’s values of access and equity," the group tweeted.

Baby killing is the Left’s passion.
Imagine what the vote count in each Dim-controlled slave state would have be like if slavery was up for vote. Of course the vote turnout would be different if the slaves themselves were able to vote. LOL
The questions in my mind are whether #1 the voters will surprise their leftard government #2 whether the vote will be rigged so that can’t happen.
“denying or interfering with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions,”
Just wait to read the actual text of any law.
Moloch will be proud.
I can scream all I want at my “leaders” but Mexifornia is going to hell in a handbasket. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. In the meantime the only reason I’m still here is the weather. You can’t beat it here at this altitude. If liberal women want to get an abortion, I can’t do anything but pray for them. If Jesus cries for anything then abortion is one of them.
This is as it should be. The concept of legal or illegal abortion or various limits is a matter for decision by the states.
I would think that laws should suffice but some apparently want the matter graven in their constitution
California should be purged from the union with those wishing to can petition for re entry
Baby killing is the Left’s passion.
It’s their way of saving them from their party’s pedos
California has abortion laws. I really think this is the route they'll have to take...just like NYS has already done.
“abortion and contraception are a private matter between a patient and their medical provider,”
But not forcing experimental gene therapy into your body. Or choosing to try alternative therapeutic treatments of proven off-label drugs.
Particularly those black ones!
July 28, 2020 of America, the Jesuit Review:
“Race was never far from Sanger’s brand of eugenics. One of Sanger’s most cherished initiatives was the Negro Project, which targeted predominantly black neighborhoods for birth control programs and recruited African-American leaders to persuade minority populations of the value of contraception and sterilization."
In a 1939 letter to Clarence Gamble, Sanger revealed the racial underpinnings of her delicate project: “We don’t want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the [African-American] minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
Counterpoint: The pedos, gender fluid freaks and other groomers are just a follow up way to destroy lives that escaped murder.
Over the years, my position on abortion has changed. I don’t support it, I don’t think it is moral and I think it is an excuse. However, when that person comes before the lord, judgement will be passed.
“California tumbles into the sea, that’ll be the day I go back to Annandale...”
Yes, I think California’s population should be reduced by at least half , the crazy half
And that really is the gist of the draft SCOTUS decision. It is an Article 10 issue for each state to decide.
Mail-in voting will ensure murder in the womb continues.
Nothing in the constitution to protect abortion rights The bill would ask voters to amend California’s constriction to protect about abortion rights it’s why the court is handing to the states as it should be.
It was the courts fault to let it fall under a constitutional right in the first place.
