The AG noted the language in Proposal Ballot Measure No. 14 “creates an express right to abortion but denies voters the ability to express their views on the nuance of the right.” (LEARN MORE: Biden-Harris Campaign Spends $25 Million On Pro-Abortion Ads)

The choice to preclude the State from being able to enforce valid health and safety regulations is different than the choice to expand abortion rights,” the memo noted.
