HJR 105 -- RIGHT TO ABORTION CARE

SPONSOR: Quade

Upon voter approval, this Constitutional amendment, to be known as the "Right to Abortion Care", asserts that every person has a right to reproductive freedom, defined as the right to make decisions about all matters relating to his or her reproductive health care, including, but not limited to, abortion care and contraceptives.

The Constitutional amendment prohibits this right from being denied, interfered with, delayed, or otherwise restricted unless the government is able to demonstrate that such action is justified by a compelling governmental interest achieved by the least restrictive means.

No person shall be penalized, prosecuted, or otherwise subject to adverse action based on that person's pregnancy outcome, whether actual, potential, perceived, or alleged, nor shall any person who is assisting another person in exercising his or her right to reproductive freedom, and the government shall not discriminate against persons providing or obtaining reproductive health care or assisting another person in doing so.
