Click here to read the full text of Intiative 1335, now gathering signatures in an attempt to get on the November 2008 Ballot. This Initiative proposes to amend the CA Constitution to: (1) create presumption that a fetus becomes viable at 24 weeks; (2) define fetal viability to include the use of life support; (3) ban abortion of a viable fetus except where necessary to save mother’s life; and (4) give viable fetuses rights to life and medical care; it provides that abortion after 24 weeks is murder unless necessary to save mother’s life. NWPC-CA OPPOSES THIS INITIATIVE. Not surprisingly, it is sponsored by the same people who brought Props 73, 85 and now Prop 4 forward.
