California Politics: What constitutional law experts say about the abortion ballot measure

LA Times  

With favorable polls and a pile of cash on hand, supporters of the California ballot measure to add abortion rights directly into the state Constitution have enjoyed an easy road in this election thus far. “This broadly worded proposal could erase all abortion restrictions in California and require taxpayer-funded abortions up until a baby’s due date,” said Josh Craddock, a lawyer and affiliated scholar with the James Wilson Institute, a conservative legal think tank that opposes abortion. “It’s real misinformation to critique a constitutional amendment in this manner,” said Cary Franklin, UCLA constitutional law professor and director of its Center on Reproductive Health, Law and Policy. I think the opponents’ argument is misguided.” Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University who teaches constitutional law, said even if a lawsuit was filed to challenge the measure, it’s unlikely a court would interpret it as allowing abortions without the restrictions created by California laws. California politics lightning round — Bonta said Wednesday that his office would investigate the Los Angeles redistricting process that took place last fall, saying an inquiry is needed to “restore confidence” in the line-drawing of the city’s 15 council districts.
