SACRAMENTO<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 As attacks on reproductive freedom continue, including just last\u00a0week at the U.S. Supreme Court<\/a>, Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement in response to the Florida Supreme Court’s ruling\u00a0allowing Governor DeSantis\u2019 6-week abortion ban to go into effect \u2013 severely restricting reproductive freedom and cutting off access to care before many women even know they are pregnant:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

“Floridians have fewer rights and less control over their own bodies today than they did yesterday \u2013 thanks to Governor DeSantis.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past six years, Governor DeSantis has put up a freedom fa\u00e7ade so he could systematically cut down people\u2019s rights based on his own personal political agenda.<\/em><\/div>\n

\n
\n\u201cToday, yet another right was stripped away from Floridians through Governor DeSantis\u2019 anti-rights agenda \u2013 millions of Floridians and women in neighboring states with total bans will now no longer be able to access essential reproductive health care on their own terms.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are no longer able to get abortion care in your home state, California has the resources and support available to help you exercise your reproductive freedom.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nGovernor Gavin Newsom<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

WHY THIS MATTERS:<\/strong>\u00a0Even before\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>\u00a0was overturned by the Supreme Court, Florida had been a key abortion access state in the Southeast for millions, including people in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.<\/p>\n

The Florida Supreme Court also ruled that Floridians can vote this November on a measure to enshrine the right to obtain an abortion in their state constitution. Since the U.S. Supreme Court reversed\u00a0Roe<\/em>, millions of Americans \u2013 in every state that has\u00a0put the issue on the ballot \u2013 have reaffirmed\u00a0their right to abortion,\u00a0including<\/a>\u00a0in California.<\/p>\n

Women \u2013 regardless of whether they live in California \u2013 in need of reproductive health care, including abortion care, can go to\u00a0Abortion.CA.Gov<\/a>\u00a0to learn about the rights they have in California, support and resources available to them, and how California continues to protect this fundamental freedom from ongoing hostile and extreme attacks.<\/p>\n
