In a historic moment for California, the State Assembly approved SCA 10, a constitutional amendment in favor of abortion and contraception, on Monday in a 58-16 vote.
The bill, co-authored by Senate President Pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, and co-authored by a broad coalition of Democratic lawmakers, passed its final legislative stage just three days after the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
