Students held a rally in support of right to abortion, saying it's a personal medical decision and is part of health care
“The decision to end a pregnancy is a private medical decision,” said school board Vice President Sabrina Bazzo, who co-introduced the resolution, at Tuesday’s school board meeting. “Everyone should have access to safe, legal and accessible abortion. Prohibitions on the right to freely exercise reproductive freedoms are harmful to public health and safety.”
The draft opinion goes in the opposite direction and argues that the right to abortion is not protected by the Constitution, either directly or implicitly.San Diego Unified School Board trustees and protesters condemned the draft opinion. Students said the decision of whether to have an abortion is personal and private — a choice that each woman deserves to make depending on her own circumstances.
Victoria Abrenica, a climate action and civic leadership instructor at San Diego High School, said during the rally that she became pregnant three years ago but was not mentally, physically or financially able to properly care for a child. She said it felt irresponsible to bring a new life into the world in light of the irreversible consequences of the global climate crisis.choice — to take a pill that terminated the pregnancy,” she said.
Bazzo said school districts are a safe haven where students can go to trained adults, such as school nurses or sexual education teachers, for information on their reproductive rights and where to go for sexual health services in circumstances in which they can’t talk to their parents.says school districts must ensure that all students in grades 7-12 receive comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education.
