The measure would need the support of 55 percent of voters to pass.

Government shall not deny, impede, or discriminate against the exercise of that right, including prohibiting health insurance coverage for abortion,” the proposed measurea decision upholding an 1864 law that bans nearly all abortions, ruling it is “enforceable” over a 15-week abortion limit passed in March of 2022.
