City Council In California Tries, Fails To Pass Abortion Ban

Proposal was in the city council for San Clemente, in conservative-leaning Orange County.

  • City council voted 3-1 on Saturday to withdraw the abortion-free city proposal after emotion meeting.
  • Impact of measure if passed would have been largely symbolic, considering officials in heavily Democratic California will continue to protect right to abortion.
  • Many residents said officials should focus on more local concerns such as homelessness.
  • “Not your purview. Not your purview.” some in the audience reportedly screamed at overflow meeting.
