Amid continued attacks on reproductive freedom across the country, Gov. Gavin Newsom On Tuesday, the U.S. government signed into law a bill to eliminate deductibles, co-insurance and other fees for covered abortion services so that such expenses are not a barrier to accessing care.
As Newsom signed SB 245, sponsored by Senator Lena A. Gonzalez of the Long Beach district, into law, he attended a virtual ceremony joined by members of the Legislative Women's Caucus and representatives of reproductive rights and justice organizations.
