California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed a raft of radical new laws expanding abortion access throughout the Golden State. The bills will allocate over $200 million in new abortion funding, greenlight recruitment of abortionists to broaden availability, and ensure that almost no abortion will be prosecuted under the law.
The legislative package also includes a controversial bill that critics have warned could be interpreted as decriminalizing infanticide.
In a September 27 press release, Newsom explicitly said the laws are meant to stand in opposition to legislation recently passed in Republican-led states to enshrine legal protections for the unborn.
