California Democrats introduced 17 more bills to “further bolster” the state’s role as an “abortion haven.”
“We have a great package of bills to further reproductive justice, to further the protections to people who may end up coming to our state, to our dispensers and to our healthcare providers,” state Sen. Nancy Skinner said at a news conference in the state Capitol after the Legislative Women’s Caucus announced the bills.
One of the bills, AB 598, would require public school districts to administer a survey to students between seventh and twelfth grades that provides “information about obtaining abortions during different stages of pregnancy,” the bill’s text states. Another bill, AB 710, would create a public information campaign likely smearing pro-life pregnancy centers.
“When women need access to healthcare, it’s critical that the information they get is factual and providers have best interests in mind, not an agenda to discourage you from seeking an abortion,” said Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo , author of AB 710. Kristin Turner, executive director of the nonprofit Pro-Life San Francisco, told the publication that while a public campaign against pro-life resources would complicate the movement’s work, AB1646 concerns her the most. That bill would allow out-of-state medical students “to practice abortion and gender-affirming care in California for 90 days,” according to the report.
