More about CA Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni G. Atkins' historic career: 

Following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Senator Atkins has played an integral role in expanding access to reproductive health in California, including sponsoring SB 487 to strengthen protections for California health care providers who provide abortion care services and gender-affirming care services. SB 487 follows more than a decade of work by Pro Tem Atkins to widen access to reproductive health care in California. As a director of clinical services for a women’s reproductive health clinic in the 1990s, she learned firsthand how essential access to safe healthcare is for women and people of all ages, and has been a fierce champion of protecting and expanding access to reproductive rights and services for decades.

The webinar will explore how the battle over abortion access has been fought through state ballots across the country. Held shortly after the November 7 election to enshrine a state constitutional right to abortion in Ohio, the webinar will address the lessons learned from that campaign, including from the opposition efforts to keep abortion-related measures off the ballot altogether and the fiercely contested dispute to frame ballot language. The discussion of the Ohio election will be contextualized within the broader learnings from the 2022 midterm elections, when measures protecting access to abortion prevailed in California, Michigan, and Vermont, and measures to restrict access were defeated in Kentucky, Kansas, and Montana. Finally, based on the prior election results, the webinar will discuss what may occur in the 2024 elections regarding abortion-related measures in other states, and voter turnout for the candidates who support or oppose abortion rights.
