September 28, 2022 (Sacramento) -- Governor Newsom has signed the California Women’s Caucus priority package of bills aimed at expanding and protecting reproductive healthcare in California. Included in the package is Assembly Bill (AB) 2134 by Assemblymember Akilah Weber, M.D. which will provide funding to reimburse providers serving the uninsured and underinsured. The actions come in the wake of the supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade and multiple states imposing bans or severe restrictions on abortion access, with some states weighing bans on birth control access as well.
