ACTION ALERT! 7 Priority Abortion Bills
The Supreme Court is slated to overturn Roe v. Wade in June when its Dobbs v. Jackson ruling is released. While other states will see abortion ended when that happens, California is seeking to become a sanctuary for abortion.
There is an onslaught of 17 bills expanding abortion in California this year.
- Bills seeking to fund abortion infrastructure as well as airfare, hotels, childcare, gas money, meals for women having abortions.
- Bills seeking to expand the workforce performing abortions through scholarships, stipends, and allowing nurse practitioners to perform abortions without doctor’s oversight.
- Bills seeking to prevent litigation and protect the privacy of abortion facilities, workers, and women having abortions.
Here are the 7 priority abortion bills the California Catholic Conference is strongly opposing:
-
AB 1918 (Petrie-Norris D): Scholarships for doctors who study abortion.
-
AB 2134 (Weber, Akilah D): All employers must pay for abortions, religious employers must advertise free abortion outside their insurance.
-
AB 2223 (Wicks D): No criminalizing women for stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion, vague language of perinatal death (oppose unless amended).
-
AB 2586 (Garcia, Cristina D): Working group on reproductive and sexual health – targeting pregnancy centers.
-
SB 1142 (Caballero D): Grants for airfare, hotels, childcare, etc. for women seeking abortion.
-
SB 1245 (Kamlager D): Grants for funding abortions in LA County.
-
SB 1375 (Atkins D): Nurse practitioners can perform abortions without physician oversight.
- Find your legislator. Contact your representative today! Urge him or her to oppose abortion expansion.
