With the upcoming repeal of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court, abortion will likely be criminalized in over half the country. This atrocity is a culmination of decades of attacks on reproductive rights by right-wing politicians and Christian reactionary zealots. The whittling away of reproductive rights has hit hardest against working class and oppressed people.

This proposed state constitutional amendment would allow state legislators to convene citizens’ juries to consider passing new laws. These citizens’ juries would consist of 150 people selected at random. After the jury would be convened, legislators would make their case to the jury, with equal time given to those who are for and against the bill being considered. The citizens’ jury would then deliberate and vote. If 60% of the jurors approved the bill, it would become law; if not, the bill would fail.
