(Sacramento, CA) — California is again leading the fight for abortion rights. Governor Gavin Newsom signed 13 bills to protect women who need to end their pregnancy or get access to birth control. He says “it’s more important than ever to fight like hell for those who need these essential services” in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

The new laws include ensuring a pregnancy loss isn’t criminalized and allowing more providers to perform abortions
