I support a "woman's right to choose" but I don't think it should be a "(state) constitutional right".

Why not?

I mean, if you support allowing abortion in some or all cases only as a sort of pragmatic compromise, then I get it.

But for anyone who supports women's reproductive autonomy as a matter of principle, it seems like exactly the sort of protection that needs to be constitutional.
It's just weird.

We should treat abortion as a dire, last option. Making it a "constitutional right" just feels too extra.

This and only legal during the first trimester unless it's a threat to the mother. It's not a right that should be protected by the constitution.
