The clock is ticking until Arizona's ban takes effect.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is issuing guidance on Wednesday, reminding abortion seekers and providers of their rights in California. | Rich Pedroncelli/APTop California leaders will introduce a plan Wednesday to expand abortion access for Arizonans coming across the border, including opening doors to out-of-state doctors.
The bill is expected to be introduced in the Legislature Wednesday by Legislative Women’s Caucus leaders: state Sen. Nancy Skinner and Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry.on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” is a response to the April 9 decision by Arizona’s Supreme Court to uphold an 1864 near-total ban on abortion.
“For providers from near-total abortion ban states who are willing to practice in California, you are welcome in California, and we want to ensure that you know your rights and are empowered to continue fulfilling your vital role of providing necessary abortion care here,” Bonta said in a statement shared with POLITICO. “California has your back and is armed with resources and safeguarding measures should you seek to obtain or provide care in our state.
If it passes, Newsom’s bill would go into effect immediately with his signature. Technically, the Legislature has until August 31 to pass bills, but Arizona’s ban goes into effect June 8 and California is aiming to move quickly before then.
