(Christian Headlines) California will become an “abortion sanctuary” in a post-Roe world under a controversial new plan supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom that urges the state to pay for lodging, transportation and other expenses when out-of-state residents seek an abortion.
The 14-page report by the California Future of Abortion Council lists 45 recommendations for the state if Roe v. Wade is overturned, asserting that over 36 million women will “lose access to abortion care” if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide. The high court is expected to issue a ruling next year in a high-profile Mississippi abortion case that could impact Roe.
“It is imperative that California take the lead, live up to its proclamation as a ‘Reproductive Freedom State,’ and be ready to serve anyone who seeks abortion services in the state,” the report says.
