Gov. Gavin Newsom signs bill to protect women who come in from other states for reproductive care

[IcyPeas]

Abortion is legal in California.

It will remain that way.

I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.

We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

1. J B Pritzger should do the same if he hasn't already

As a matter of fact all the states where it will remain legal should follow his lead.

3. Massachusetts and NY also doing this

5. Great

Other states needs to do it to.

11. Claire McCaskill (Missouri) pointed out that Illinois will soon be the only state in that area

That will have abortion access.
(Wisconsin will probably keep it for awhile.)


We should adopt some abortion centers near the state lines-- in Carbondale, Danville, suburban Chicago, Quincy, Moline, Belleville. Let's hope they can afford to provide transport-- as long as that's not criminalized too.

4. Unfortunately, poor women who really need one can't afford to go to another state

7. It's possible Biden will have an answer for that one.

6. This is going to happen under unintended consequences for the anti-choice States,

they are going to lose their young women as they fear to return to their homes and they will ask for asylum in the Blue States.

9. ...and we will welcome them with open arms.

12. If you are a young woman, do you now want to go to college in an anti-choice state?

If you're a CEO of a new company, do you want to move a facility to an anti-choice state?

... and let's not forget, Thomas has his glinty eyes on marriage equality next.

8. Michigan will.

Just give us some time to invalidate that 1931 pos law,.
