California Gov. Gavin Newsom is welcoming women across the country who are seeking abortions to come have the procedure done in his home state.
In a Friday letter, Newsom joined Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in urging states “to review their laws and enact their own protections” after states such as Alabama, Georgia, Missouri and Mississippi recently passed stringent laws that would curb access to abortion.
