California allocates $20 million towards abortion clinic's physical and digital security
SACRAMENTO- (KION-TV): California state legislature has allocated $20 million in grant money for abortion care facilities across the state to help improve their physical and digital security.
On Sunday afternoon, Governor Gavin Newsom's office said in a tweet that they are taking steps to help protect reproductive care centers throughout the state.
"Violence against staff & facilities providing reproductive services has increased nationwide - but in CA, we are protecting reproductive care providers," the Governor's office said.
During last year's election, California voters approved an amendment enshrining the right to an abortion in the state’s constitution.
Brian Ferguson who is a spokesperson for California's Office of Emergency Services said that this is the first time that his department has made funds available for any abortion care facilities who receive threats.
