Newsom leads Long Beach rally backing Proposition 1, abortion rights measure on California ballot
Gov. Gavin Newsom headlined a Long Beach rally Sunday to muster support for Proposition 1, which would formally establish a right to reproductive freedom, most notably the right to an abortion, in the state constitution.
He said the proposition on Tuesday's ballot is a chance "to send a powerful message all across America that we have your back." He said the overturning of Roe v. Wade could lead to other individual rights being stripped away, saying civil rights are "on the line." The rebuttal to the argument in favor of Proposition 1 in the Official Voter Information Guide distributed to voters by the Secretary of State's Office declares that "Proposition 1 is not needed to protect abortion rights but it will cost California taxpayers millions" through the increased number of abortion seekers from other states coming to California."California law already allows access to abortion and contraception," attorney Heather Hacker said in the rebuttal.
