California lawmakers have approved a measure which will allow voters in the fall to decide whether to protect the right to an abortion.
The Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade and the fundamental right to abortion that has been the law for almost 50 years.
Meanwhile, four conservative states - Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and West Virginia - have constitutions that say a right to an abortion is not protected, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights group. California's massive budget includes more than $200 million to expand access to abortion in the state. The money would help pay for abortions for women who can't afford them, scholarships for abortion providers and a new website listing all of the state's abortion services in one place.
