IRVINE, Calif.—In a rare move for Orange County cities, Irvine city council members voted to approve a resolution declaring “reproductive freedom” is a fundamental right during a meeting on July 12.
At the meeting, Mayor Farrah Khan said she had suggested the resolution be drafted and approved. In her comments, she said the purpose was to send a message to the community that the city does not support the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision on abortion.
