California will be the first state to require abortion medication on college campuses under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The law, set to take effect in 2023, will apply to 34 University of California and California State University campuses.
California will be the first state to require abortion medication on college campuses under a new law signed Friday by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
But Newsom, who took office in January, said the law is needed"as other states and the federal government go backward, restricting reproductive freedom." Religious and anti-abortion groups opposed the bill, with Live Action President Lila Rose saying the law"turns universities into abortion centers." And Maria Jose Fernandez, legislative advocate for the California Catholic Conference, said the law is"trying to limit the alternatives for women."
University of California spokeswoman Sarah McBride said the university"believes students should have access to affordable and convenient reproductive health care of their choosing."
