On Friday, a slew of states made efforts to signal their support for abortion access.
As a slew of predominantly Republican states take steps to ban or limit access to abortion, several other states governed by Democratic leaders are attempting to strengthen reproductive rights and bolster their record with pro-choice advocacy groups.
The law, which would replace an outdated and unenforced edict criminalizing abortion providers, would also establish that a"fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights." “In light of increasing attacks at the federal level and in other states such as Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, and Louisiana, SB179 reaffirms Nevada's commitment to protecting reproductive freedom and access to reproductive health care," Sisolak said Friday at the signing.
Newsom also went a step further, signing a proclamation in California “welcoming women to California to fully exercise their reproductive rights.”
