Gov. Newsom signs bill package to add protections for those seeking abortions, birth control

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a slew of bills on Tuesday to ensure those seeking abortion care and birth control are protected in California.

Newsom approved a group of 15 bills called the Legislative Women’s Caucus Reproductive Justice Policy Priority Package, created in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and state governments initiating restrictions or bans on abortions.
