Vermont lawmakers send constitutional amendment guaranteeing right to abortion to voters

[question everything]

Vermont voters will weigh in on a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to abortion after the state House overwhelmingly approved the measure.

The state's House of Representatives voted 107 to 41 on Tuesday in favor of the Reproductive Liberty Amendment, also known as Proposition 5, which would add a statute to the Vermont Constitution that assures access to abortion, contraceptives and other related care for all individuals in the Green Mountain State, according to VTDigger.

Voters are reportedly set to vote on the measure in November.

Supporters of the amendment have said adding to the Vermont Constitution is a critical move as state legislatures throughout the nation are considering bills that would hamper abortion access, according to VTDigger.

Including in places where the outcome is not obvious.
