Proposing a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the rights to an abortion and to assisted reproductive technology treatments and procedures, including in vitro fertilization.
HJR 80 proposes a constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to abortion and assisted reproductive technology (including in vitro fertilization) for all state residents. If approved by voters, this amendment would become part of the state constitution, requiring future state laws to align with these rights and preventing restrictions on these services. The amendment directly affects individuals seeking reproductive healthcare, healthcare providers, and state lawmakers who must draft laws consistent with this constitutional standard. The bill is currently pending in the legislature after its first reading and referral to the State Affairs committee.
