County supervisors vote to assess and possibly expand access to abortion

San Diego County health officials will study the availability of abortion and other reproductive health care in the county and explore ways to expand those services, following a split vote by the Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

“Preserving our residents’ access to quality reproductive health care services, while serving others seeking the same services, is critical,” stated a board letter by Vargas and Fletcher.on May 2 revealed the court was poised to overturn the landmark 1973 decision, which guaranteed federal protection of abortion rights. The draft ruling triggered a flurry of action by abortion foes and defenders, in anticipation that states may soon be free to permit or prohibit abortion as they choose.

“In light of the possibility that Roe v. Wade is overturned, we need to take action now,” Lawson-Remer said before the board vote in support of the amendment. “This constitutional amendment would build a firewall to ensure that we have access to safe and legal abortion.” It also calls for the county to advocate for reproductive rights and health care at the state and federal level.

Others said they were appalled by the campaign to preserve the right to abortion, calling the procedure murder and a form of eugenics, or selective breeding. Some said they were particularly concerned about second or third trimester abortions.The tension extended to conversations between supervisors as well. Desmond opposed the measure, saying he agreed with plans to assess reproductive health services, but didn’t support expanding funding for them.
