Arizona doctors could give their patients abortions in California under a proposal announced Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom to circumvent a ban on nearly all abortions in that state.
Arizona doctors could give their patients abortions in California under a proposal announced Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom .
Newsom joined the California Legislative Women's Caucus and advocates to announce the proposal. Lawmakers called the Arizona law "draconian" and said California had an obligation to get involved. The bill would need to pass by a two-thirds vote in each house of the Legislature before reaching Newsom's desk. After he signs it, it would go into effect immediately.
The Arizona Supreme Court cleared the way earlier this month for the near-total ban to move forward. Besides Arizona, 14 other states have banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy. While abortion access in California has never been under serious threat, Newsom - widely seen as a potential presidential candidate beyond 2024 - has made defending that access a priority of his administration.
