RoeVWade: Following the leak of the SCOTUS decision in May, Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democratic state leaders announced an amendment to the state constitution that would codify the right to have an abortion into state law.
State lawmakers are positioning California as a broad health care sanctuary following a Supreme Court draft opinion on Tuesday showing the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court is in favor of striking down Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 court ruling that gave constitutional rights to an abortion.
San Francisco lawmakers are following with local abortion access inititiaves for women in states where rights could soon be restricted. Ronen’s request was hastily drafted following Monday night’s leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the abortion protections provided by Roe v. Wade. It seeks an analysis of the cost of implementing the abortion sponsorship program in the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
“California unequivocally stands for the right to an abortion, no matter what the right-wing zealots on the Supreme Court say,” said Senator Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco. “We will fight hard to expand abortion access, here and in other states.” “We will not enforce these laws in our state. We will not honor subpoenas and we will not allow law enforcement officers to enforce these laws in our states,” Wiener said.
Decades of research, however, show that gender-affirming care can be lifesaving. A U.S. survey of transgender adults 18-36 years old found a significantly lower risk of depression and suicidal ideation among those who were treated in their youth with puberty blockers. Endocrinologists require adolescents to first undergo assessments with medical specialists prior to receiving gender-affirming medical care such as hormone treatment.
