The Los Angeles City Council introduced a resolution on Sept. 20 to support Proposition 1 on the November ballot, which would codify abortion in the state constitution. But critics are concerned that the measure doesn’t have a limit on late-term abortions.
Proposition 1 calls on amending the state constitution to “prohibit the state from denying ... an abortion.” The proposition is a response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 precedent that struck down a series of federal and state laws restricting abortion and largely legalized the procedure nationwide.
