Skinner bill would outlaw apprehension of people coming to California for abortion care

State Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, introduced a bill on Monday that will solidify California’s status as a “safe haven” for abortion and gender-affirming care.

Introduced on the first day of the new legislative session, Skinner’s bill would ensure out-of-state residents entering California to seek out abortion or gender-affirming procedures will not be prosecuted for such care.
