City council passes resolution to become first ‘safe haven’ for abortion

The San Diego City Council passed a resolution Tuesday declaring itself a “safe city” for abortion after a leaked draft opinion indicated the Supreme Court may be overturning Roe v. Wade.

The resolution passed 8-0 in the San Diego City Council, with members arguing the city has a responsibility to show it is a safe place for reproductive freedom, according to a press release.  The declaration is not law and abortions will likely remain legal in California in the event Roe v. Wade is overturned, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.

“No matter what happens with the Supreme Court ruling, no matter who you are or where you come from, no matter the color of your skin or your socioeconomic status, I want everyone to know that you are welcome in the City of San Diego to exercise your reproductive rights,” councilmember and declaration co-author Stephen Whitburn in the release. “I want all San Diegans who are scared and frustrated about this potential ruling to know that you have members of this city council and a Mayor that have your back, and we will not back down.”

A leaked draft opinion published by Politico earlier in May revealed the majority of Supreme Court Justices voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in December 2021. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, then abortion may be made illegal in as many as 22 states.

Councilmember Whitburn did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

  1. Why are these “people” so intent on killing babies? R v. W has nothing to do with stripping rights. There is no right to abortion in the constitution. It is about re-granting rights to the states that should have never been taken away by the federal government.

    Forget about the morality of abortion for just a minute. The usurping the states’ rights were egregiously and illegally taken away by R v. W. It is now being rectified.

  2. Aren’t these the same clowns that want to force you to inject poison into your body 🤔

  3. Roe is bad law and should be struck down. Send abortion back to the states where it belongs. It’s not a right and never has been. That said, it will not be illegal, just restricted base on the sensibilities of the state. In California you will still be able to kill the baby while Mom’s in labor. In Louisiana, not so much.

  4. Could you imagine being an eight month old fetus and finding out your mom’s a democrat?

  5. “declaring itself a “safe city” for abortion” A better description would be a safe city for PREMEDITATED INFANT MURDER!
