Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats urge voters to back Proposition 1, a state constitutional amendment that would block the state from passing any measures restricting access to abortion or contraception.
California’s top Democrats rallied in Long Beach on Sunday morning to urge voters to support Proposition 1, a state constitutional amendment that would block the state from passing any measures restricting access to abortion or contraception.
“This is our opportunity to send a powerful message back to people all across America that we have their back,” Newsom said. “That it’s not just about 40 million of us in California; that we have their back. We believe in reproductive freedom. We believe in a woman’s right to choose. We believe in these fundamental freedoms and we are not going to take this moment for granted.”Newsom cited a report from the American Library Assn.
Newsom was joined at the event by U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, Secretary of State Shirley Weber, Rep. Alan Lowenthal and a host of other Democrats.
