On Abortion: No nationwide ban; uphold the voice of the people

On abortion, Garvey said he does not support a nationwide abortion ban. "The people of California have spoken on abortion, and as their representative, I pledge to always uphold the voice of the people," he said. When asked if he supported abortion rights, he added, "The people have spoken, and I will pledge to uphold that."Context from Associated Press 11/9/2022: Voters in California resoundingly approved a ballot measure to enshrine the right to abortion and contraception in the state constitution. Partial returns showed California's Proposition 1 leading with 68% of the vote. The amendment in California declares that the state "shall not deny or interfere with an individual's reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives."
