Newsom Wants to Let Arizona Doctors Do Abortions in California.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed a measure that would allow doctors from neighboring Arizona to provide abortions to their patients in California. Under the proposal, Arizona doctors would be expedited approval to temporarily work in California through November, enabling them to offer reproductive care to their Arizona patients. The law would also protect the privacy of healthcare providers and patients to prevent legal repercussions in their home state. This move is a response to Arizona's Supreme Court decision to allow a ban on nearly all abortions to take effect later this year. Newsom's proposal is part of a larger battle over reproductive rights in the US since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. [Extracted from the article]
