Summary
With Donald Trump regaining influence and anti-abortion advocacy on the rise, California legislators are planning new bills to safeguard abortion access and expand reproductive healthcare. Amidst a complex post-Dobbs landscape where many states implemented abortion restrictions, California seeks to be a sanctuary for reproductive rights. Local lawmakers, like Mia Bonta, are poised to present legislation focusing on emergency abortion care, access to birth control, and support for birthing centers.
