'I don't think this is something cities should be dealing with,' Chris Duncan, a fellow San Clemente City Councilman, told CBSLA
With the vast majority of Californians support a woman's right to control her own reproductive health, one Orange County councilman has been pushing for a ban on abortion rights in his city.
The resolution does make exceptions for rape and incest and says that enforcement would be within the power and authority of the council. "I'll say it pretty bluntly. I believe a woman has a right to choose, not the government. And I'm very strong on women making their own decisions about their own healthcare choices for their own bodies," he added.
"I believe you came up with a motion that you wanted the city council to take a position on marriage -- between a man and a woman -- and I believe it was shot down," another council person said to Knoblock during the meeting."Now, you're taking a position on abortion." San Clemente residents are already gearing up to speak out at the next council meeting.
