California governor signs new bill protecting abortion rights

• California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a new law protecting abortion access in the state.
• The move follows the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
• Newsom says he feels “pissed, resolved and angry” over the court’s decision.

California governor response to the decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Governor Gavin Newsom of California put a new legislation into effect on Friday that expands women’s access to abortion services in the state.

When it came time for him to sign the law, Newsom said he felt “pissed, resolved, and outraged.”

“You and I are both aware that this scenario would never, ever play out if it were males who were the ones carrying and giving birth to children. That is common knowledge among all people. “And that’s the problem that nobody wants to talk about,” Newsom remarked. Because women in this nation are considered to be citizens of a lower level than males. Women are put in a subordinate position. Women do not have the same level of freedom as males. That’s really fucked up to say the least.

Anyone who performs, assists, or receives an abortion in the state of California will be protected from any prospective legal action starting outside the state under the new legislation that was approved by the state legislature of California on Thursday. A person seeking reproductive health care, whether they are a resident of California or merely visiting the state, will be protected under Assembly Bill 1666.

The recently passed legislation is only one of more than a dozen initiatives that are now making their way through the legislature with the intention of enhancing and protecting access to abortion services. Other laws that have been presented would look at the fundamental factors that contribute to reproductive health disparities, strengthen safeguards for individuals’ right to privacy, and make it possible for trained nurse practitioners to perform abortions in the first trimester.

Not only Newsom was frustrated by the ruling of the court; many others were as well.

“This decision is exceptional. It was done in the past. The Attorney General of California, Rob Bonta, described the situation as “unprecedented in a tragically catastrophic sense.” This judgement is an assault on individuals’ right to privacy, as well as their independence, autonomy, and equality. This ruling is an assault on the rights of women. This is an assault on the equality of women. It’s an assault on women who are expecting children.”

Bonta and Newsom were joined by other legislators who were motivated to tighten the state’s legislation and ensure that women living in other states with more restrictive laws are aware that they may travel to California to seek health care if they want to do so.

“Those who are looking for abortion care might find refuge in the state of California. In the state of California, abortion is not restricted in any way. The laws of our state will not be changed as a result of today’s ruling. “By law, you are permitted to get an abortion in this country,” Bonta informed her client. “Here in California, we don’t believe in turning the clock back and submitting our citizens’ bodies to the tyranny of extreme ideas.”

Bonta said with trembling voice, “This is a dark day for our little girls and all of our children who will now come of age in a nation with fewer rights, fewer freedoms, and fewer protections than the generations that came before them.” “This is a dark day for our little girls and all of our children who will now come of age in a nation with fewer rights, fewer freedoms, and “That is not development,” the speaker said.

In addition, voters in California will have the opportunity in November to decide whether or not to approve an amendment to the state constitution that would make access to reproductive health care a basic right.

The following is an excerpt from the amendment: “The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions. This includes the individual’s fundamental right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, as well as their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives.” The purpose of this provision is to advance both the constitutional right to privacy, which is protected by Section 1, and the constitutional right to equal protection, which is provided by Section 7. Nothing in this document should be construed as reducing or limiting a person’s right to privacy or equal protection.

According to the statement made by the Governor of California, “I hope that this decision, if nothing else, awakens people up.”

Newsom stressed that “this is not just about choice” and “this is not just about reproductive freedom.” He went on to include marriage equality, interracial marriage rights, and transgender rights. He issued a stern warning, saying, “They’re coming after you next.”
