Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy.
HJR 130 proposes adding a new constitutional right to personal reproductive autonomy in Texas. If approved by voters in November 2025, it would guarantee individuals the right to: (1) obtain abortions up to 24 weeks post-fertilization, (2) access abortions after 24 weeks to preserve life/health or under existing exceptions, and (3) obtain and use contraception. The amendment would prevent the state from restricting these rights, effectively codifying current abortion access within the state constitution. This is a proposed constitutional change requiring voter approval, not an immediate law.
