Gov. Newsom introduced a bill allowing out-of-state doctors to perform abortions in CA to aid Arizona patients amidst a near total ban threat in Arizona, providing anonymity and legal protection.
The legislation aims to protect doctors from prosecution when they return to Arizona after caring for patients in California, ensuring continuity of care for existing doctor-patient relationships.
California's proposed law comes as a response to Arizona's 160-year-old abortion ban, following the Arizona House's recent approval of a repeal, now pending in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Despite the potential repeal of the Arizona abortion ban, Gov. Newsom's office emphasized the importance of California's urgent legislation (SB 233) in providing immediate support and protection to doctors.
