Newsom budget will bolster California's abortion-sanctuary status

Source: Politico

Gov. Gavin Newsom wants California to spend an extra $57 million to prepare for an expected influx of patients from states hostile to abortion, according to new details released by his administration Wednesday.

This brings to $125 million the additional funding the governor wants to dedicate in the coming fiscal year on abortion services. The Democratic governor will also announce an incentive program for companies to relocate to California from states with abortion bans, Newsom administration officials said.

“California will not stand idly by as extremists roll back our basic constitutional rights; we’re going to fight like hell, making sure that all women — not just those in California — know that this state continues to recognize and protect their fundamental rights,” Newsom said in a statement Wednesday.

The release by POLITICO last week of an early draft opinion of the Supreme Court’s majority opinion overturning the landmark Roe. v Wade decision has raised the stakes for blue states like California that have been positioning themselves as abortion sanctuaries.

to criminalize or close to it those that go to these sanctuaries and these women do have privacy rights, that I think these nosy red states don't have the right to know where and when and who can go, or do whether they chose etc.
