Bill Summary
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing for personal reproductive liberty.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide for personal reproductive liberty. It would establish that every individual has the fundamental right to make decisions regarding their own reproduction, including the ability to choose or refuse to prevent, continue, or end a pregnancy, as well as the right to choose or refuse contraceptives and fertility care, without discrimination based on various factors. The Commonwealth would only be allowed to restrict this right if it can demonstrate a compelling state interest achieved through the least restrictive means. The bill also outlines the process for passing the proposed constitutional amendment, including advertising requirements and submission to the qualified electors of the Commonwealth.
