What it does
The California Constitution establishes a right of privacy. Existing statutory law, the Reproductive Privacy Act, contains provisions regulating abortions, including a requirement that the procedure be performed by a physician and surgeon. The act prohibits the state from denying or interfering with a woman's right to choose or obtain an abortion prior to viability of the fetus, or if the abortion is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.
