(Sacramento, CA) — In response to an Arizona law that bans almost all abortions, California’s legislature is pushing emergency legislation that would allow women from that state to come to California to get an abortion. Flanked by all of the members of the Legislative Women’s Caucus, California Governor Gavin Newsom says this law also protects doctors who could be criminally charged for performing an abortion in Arizona.

The Arizona law, upheld by the state’s Supreme Court, bans nearly all abortions and makes no exceptions for rape or incest. It does allow for an abortion only if the mother’s life is in jeopardy.
