Proposition 1 (California ballot measure)

Proposition 1 is a California ballot measure that seeks to update the state’s constitution to explicitly guarantee individuals the right to reproductive freedom, including the decision to have an abortion, use contraception, and access fertility treatments. It also aims to protect these rights from future state laws that might restrict them. The measure ensures that reproductive rights are constitutionally protected, similar to other personal privacy rights, and emphasizes that these rights cannot be diminished or taken away by laws or government actions. This provides a stronger legal safeguard for reproductive choices in California.
