CBS News – Governor Gavin Newsom took a step Friday to support women’s rights to have an abortion and indicated women can come to California to have one if they want.
Newsom signed Friday a, “Proclamation on Reproductive Freedom” saying it reaffirms the state’s commitment to protecting women’s reproductive choices, educates Californians about their rights to reproductive freedom and welcomes women to the state to exercise that right.
Among other things, the proclamation talks about reproductive services already available to California women, including state-funded abortion services for low-income women. In a joint statement with Washington’s and Oregon’s governors, Newsom stated that other states need to review their state’s laws.
