Text

This article shall be construed to effectuate its legislative intent to support access to abortion in California and build upon its commitment to be a reproductive freedom state. The United States Supreme Court overturned the protections to access abortion under Roe v. Wade. For decades, abortion funds, abortion providers, and other community-based organizations have provided direct and indirect support to callers and patients with logistical and practical support needs. The purpose of this article ensures that people seeking abortion care have access to the logistical and practical support resources needed, to diminish barriers to care. The purpose of this article and all of its provisions with respect to the powers granted shall be interpreted to effectuate that intent and purposes to support organizations in California who
provide support and resources to people seeking abortion.
