Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy.
This bill proposes adding a constitutional amendment to Texas law that would establish a fundamental right to personal reproductive autonomy for all individuals residing in Texas. It would prohibit the state from restricting reproductive choices unless a "compelling state interest" is proven and the restriction uses the "least restrictive means available." The amendment would become part of the Texas Constitution if approved by voters in the November 2025 election. This change would directly affect all Texans seeking reproductive healthcare by setting a strict legal standard for any future restrictions.
