TO: | Honorable Richard Pan, Chairman |
Senate Health Committee | |
FROM: | Liz Froelich, Legislative Analyst |
DATE: | March 27, 2019 |
RE: | (SB 24 Leyva) Public Health: University Health Centers: Abortion |
POSITION: | OPPOSE |
CRLC must adamantly oppose the inclusion of medication abortions or any form of abortion procedures at publicly funded California institutions of higher education.
SB24 is a rerun of SB320 from the previous legislature. It was rightly vetoed by then Governor Jerry Brown as not necessary. He stated that accessibility and availability were NOT problems for college students.
SB 24 reiterates the myth that a medication abortion is a safe medical procedure while claiming that it is an accepted health care component for reproductive health.
CRLC vigorously objects to these assertions. Abortion is not health care for either the pregnant woman or the preborn girl or boy.
For the continued good health of women students in California we demand a NO vote.
Cc. Honorable Jeff Stone, Vice-Chairman
