Arizona OBGYNs allowed to perform abortions in CA due to new CA law

New Law Allows Arizona OBGYNs To Perform Abortions in California As State Ban Looms

Arizona OBGYNs Allowed to Perform Abortions in California Under New Rule

Arizona’s 15-week abortion protection is being met with pushback by California state residents and lawmakers, who recently enacted legislation allowing Arizona OBGYNs to travel to California where abortion is permitted all the way up until birth, to provide the procedure to Arizona women there.

This means anyone living in Arizona seeking an abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy can access one across state lines in neighboring California – from the very same doctor who regularly sees patients in their home state.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law in partnership with the California Legislative Women’s Caucus – effective immediately until November 30, 2024. 

Women Can Already Access the Care They Need

It is heartbreaking to think that any doctor would prioritize ending innocent human life over their medical responsibility to do no harm to all patients – born and unborn. Furthermore, it’s shameful that lawmakers would encourage them to so blatantly neglect their medical duty to protect both patients.

Currently, there are no states in American with life-saving legal protections for the unborn preventing doctors from serving their patients in need of emergency and non-emergency medical care. Legislators have forgotten that Arizona women already had access to the care they needed to protect both their own health and that of their unborn children, making the new bill an unnecessary and purely partisan legislative measure.
