Amending the Constitution to address reproductive freedom and gender-affirming care.

This bill proposes adding a new constitutional article (Article XXXIII) to Washington State's constitution, directly affecting all residents by establishing legal protections for reproductive freedom and gender-affirming care. It would prohibit the state from denying or interfering with an individual's rights to choose abortion, contraception, assisted reproductive technology, or gender-affirming care, and from discriminating based on pregnancy outcomes. The key mechanism requires voters to approve this amendment in the next general election, as the bill mandates submitting it for ratification. If approved, these protections would become part of the state constitution, overriding conflicting laws. The amendment explicitly states it does not limit existing rights to liberty, privacy, or equal protection under the law.
