San Francisco voters are poised to decide the fate of a ballot measure that would expand abortion in the city during the upcoming election.<\/p>\n

Mayor London Breed<\/a> stood alongside pro-abortion leaders at a Planned Parenthood facility in June to announce Proposition O<\/a>, which Breed herself co-authored. Also called the “San Francisco Reproductive Freedom Act,” the proposition would<\/a> loosen zoning laws, allowing abortion facilities to operate on any floor in a building in a non-residential zone, establish an official Department of Health website pointing pregnant women to abortion businesses, establish an \u201cAbortion Provider Appreciation Day\u201d in the city, and\u00a0 establish a “Reproductive Rights Fund\u201d to help fund abortion.<\/p>\n

It would also block city funding for any “reproductive health care facility” that does not commit or refer for abortions<\/em>, and it would directly target the city’s pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) by using taxpayer funds to install signs outside these facilities saying they are \u201climited services pregnancy organizations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Critics of the ballot measure fear these signs would invite vandals to target these centers \u2014 a legitimate fear, as PRCs have been the victims of pro-abortion violence across the country.<\/p>\n
