Proposal to put abortion protections in California Constitution appears headed for BIG victory

[Demovictory9]

SACRAMENTO — A measure to amend the state Constitution to add protections for abortion rights appears on track for victory this fall as the issue of reproductive rights appears to be strongly motivating the state’s voters.

A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll released Wednesday showed 7 in 10 California voters support the proposed constitutional amendment, and majorities back other policies aimed at protecting abortion rights.

Voters’ strong convictions on the issue appear likely to bolster election fortunes of Democrats in the state this November.

Eight in 10 voters called abortion an important issue as they decide how to vote in congressional, state and local races this November, with 63% describing the issue as “very important.”

Among Democrats, 77% said abortion is “very important” heading into Election Day, according to the poll, which was co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times. Forty-three percent of Republicans prioritized abortion similarly.

3. Excellent for California. It's so unfortunate that so many other states in the US are so F'ed up.

8. TY! Indeed they did.

And Mitch is still hoping for a national ban, with a right-leaning SCOTUS.
