AI Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to establish a fundamental right to "personal reproductive liberty." This includes the right to make decisions about pregnancy, contraception, and fertility care, without discrimination based on certain characteristics. The Commonwealth may only restrict this right if it has a compelling state interest and uses the least restrictive means to do so. The bill outlines the process for the proposed amendment to be advertised, passed by the General Assembly, and submitted to the qualified electors of the Commonwealth for approval.
