Women's March San Diego joins the League of Women Voters (LWV) of California and LWV of San Diego in support and advocacy of this measure. Join us...
California Proposition 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment (2022), amends the California Constitution to make it illegal for the state to deny or interfere with the reproductive freedom of individuals in their most intimate decisions. This includes the fundamental right to have an abortion and the fundamental right to choose contraceptives.
Learn more about this measure from two local experts during this LWVSD webinar on Wednesday, September 14 from 7 to 8:30pm.
Constitutional scholar Marjorie Cohn, professor emerita at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law and member of the Advisory Board of the American Constitution Society in San Diego, will present the legal background and rationale behind Proposition 1.
Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest Vice President Lori Keim will address the impact of the Dobbs decision on California and the country from the perspective of an organization dedicated to reproductive rights.

March for Reproductive Rights - San Diego
San Diego will join marchers across the nation on October 2nd, before the reconvening of the Supreme Court, taking to the streets in every state to demand our right to reproductive healthcare.
This United States Supreme Court has effectively allowed the state of Texas to ignore nearly 50 years of precedent, stripping women of their constitutional right to access abortions. By refusing to intervene and allowing the state to ban all abortions after six weeks -- before many women even know they are pregnant -- the Court has denied abortion access to millions of Texan women.

Join the Women's Museum of California and Women's March San Diego for a discussion with San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas.
