What’s in it
reproductive care specifying: 1. The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom and an individual’s most private decisions concerning reproductive freedom shall not be infringed. Reproductive freedom includes but is not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care. 2. An individual’s right to reproductive freedom shall not be denied, burdened, or infringed upon unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means.
Read the full explanation
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the state may regulate the provision of abortion care after fetal viability, provided that under no circumstance shall the state prohibit an abortion that, in the professional judgment of an attending health care professional, is medically indicated to protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual. The joint resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (91st) for adoption, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
