Reproductive rights and abortion access were much debated topics of discussion during the 2024 Presidential Election. Since the overturning of Roe versus Wade, questions of what will be protected and what will be outlawed related to abortion have remained at the forefront of the national conversation. Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to protect abortion rights in California, but just what are the laws in our state on this issue? California is well-known as a safe haven for abortion care, but how did it get to be this way and is there any possibility for change? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and we will be diving into the history and intricacies of abortion law in California, the impact of the Dobbs decision on the state level, and my response to abortion sentiment in the golden state on this week’s episode of The California Conversation.
