SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers have announced legislation aimed at helping Arizonans access abortions after the Arizona Supreme Court allowed a near total-ban to move forward. The bill would allow Arizona doctors to temporarily provide abortion care to Arizona patients who travel to California. Newsom said Wednesday that lawmakers will move swiftly to pass the California bill. Newsom has defended abortion access outside of California, which has endeared him to the Democratic Party’s core constituencies. He has become a top surrogate in President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
