Democrats are maintaining their pro-abortion momentum in the state after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 15 bills last year, which the report dubbed “reproductive health bills.” The state also voted in November to codify abortion on demand in the California Constitution by passing Proposition 1. The new bills were created with the intention of further “strengthening the state’s abortion infrastructure” for state residents, as well as for women arriving from abroad. state for abortion, according to the report.

said Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo (D-Chatsworth), author of AB 710.
Other bills in the package relate to how insurance companies handle abortions. AB 571 would require medical malpractice insurance to cover abortions, and another, AB 1432, would make health insurance companies outside of California cover abortion and “gender confirmation care” for policyholders living in the state. Several bills aim to prevent law enforcement from using medical data and records to investigate abortions.
Christine Turner, executive director of the nonprofit Pro-Life San Francisco, told the publication that while a public crackdown on pro-life resources would complicate the movement’s work, AB1646 worries her the most. This bill would allow out-of-state medical students to “practice abortion and gender confirmation care in California for 90 days,” according to the report.
“If California did this, our biggest export would be infanticide,” Turner said. “If Governor Newsom signs these laws, not only will his hands be covered in blood, but his entire office will be.”
