The California state Senate Education Committee approved a bill that would make the state the first in America to require that public college campus health centers offer medical abortions — i.e., non-surgical abortions — to students.
“While some legislators in other states are actively turning their backs on the needs of women, I thank my Senate Education Committee colleagues for approving SB 24, which supports the academic and personal success of college students by ensuring that reproductive health services are available to all students who might need them without unnecessary barriers,” Leyva said.
As opposed to a surgical abortion, a medical, or medication, abortion is brought on by taking two drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol within 70 days of gestation. Mifepristone is taken orally in the form of a pill and counters the effects of a hormone necessary for pregnancy called progesterone. Within 48 hours of taking the first pill, a patient takes misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract.
“It’s critically important that college students don’t face unnecessary barriers in accessing their rights, particularly when these services can be provided at on-campus student health centers where students already receive other health care services,” Leyva said.

Republicans see late-term abortion bills as a potent 2020 political issueRepublicans are focusing on banning abortions conducted late in pregnancy as a political issue ahead of the 2020 election. Honestly I think they’ve already squeezed the grifter/evangelical class for all they’re worth. Decreasing marginal returns to investing in conservative outrage Halting the killing of babies that could survive otherwise is hopefully an election winner -- ya think? Pretty damning comment on our culture otherwise. They have been told that the Supreme Court will NOT OVERTURN Roe/Wade, so in order to KEEP their voters happy, they will try and appease them at the state level.
