Sacramento, CA…I<\/a>n November,<\/a>\u00a0California voters will have an opportunity to amend the state\u2019s constitution to include the right to an abortion and today, Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to further protect women coming to California from other states.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia will not back down from the fight to protect abortion rights as more than half the states in this country, enabled by the Supreme Court, ban or severely restrict access,\u201d said Governor Newsom. \u201cWe are ensuring Californians will have the opportunity this November to enshrine the right to choose in our state constitution. And we\u2019re not waiting until November to take action, today\u2019s executive order ensures that the state will not hand over patients who come here to receive care and will not extradite doctors who provide care to out-of-state patients here. In California, women will remain protected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order signed today prevents any information, including medical records and patient data, from being shared by state agencies or departments in response to inquiries or investigations brought by other states\u00a0or\u00a0individuals within those states\u00a0looking to restrict access. The state\u00a0is expanding efforts to\u00a0protect women seeking abortions or reproductive care as well as anyone assisting those women.<\/p>\n

SCA 10 was\u00a0passed by the California State Assembly<\/a>\u00a0today and now heads to the November ballot.<\/p>\n

A copy of today\u2019s executive order can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Within hours of the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>\u00a0last Friday, Governor Newsom signed legislation to help\u00a0protect patients and providers<\/a>\u00a0in California from civil liability for providing, aiding, or receiving abortion care in the state. In addition, Governor Newsom and the governors of Oregon and Washington\u00a0launched a new Multi-State Commitment<\/a>\u00a0to defend access to reproductive health care and protect patients and providers.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0budget agreement<\/a>\u00a0announced yesterday includes more than $200 million in additional funding for reproductive health care services. Governor Newsom recently signed legislation\u00a0eliminating copays<\/a>\u00a0for abortion care services and has signed into law a\u00a0legislative package<\/a>\u00a0to further strengthen access and protect patients and providers.<\/p>\n
