California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 1, enshrining the right to reproductive freedom in the state Constitution, less than five months after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned federal abortion protections.While the new constitutional amendment (PDF) does not expand abortion access into the final months of pregnancy, as some of its opponents had warned, it does bolster reproductive rights by explicitly prohibiting the state from denying anyone access to the procedure or to contraceptives.

Jackson Women's Health Organization In states like Virginia-where abortion is legal but not explicitly protected by state law-it's not clear if or how localities can restrict abortion.
