California Attorney General Rob Bonta was in San Diego Thursday, affirming his support for protecting abortion rights in California.
"This is a moment full of pain, anxiety, trauma, fear, and it requires us to come together like this, to have these discussions, conversations, to plan and prepare," said Bonta.
"As some seek to roll back 50 years of progress, we will move forward here in California, we will expand access to healthcare, we will expand access to abortion," said Bonta. Bonta making it clear that as California's chief law enforcement officer, he will use the law and authority of his office to protect reproductive freedoms.
The panelists say California is prepared to welcome women seeking an abortion here if outlawed in their home states, but fear what overturning Roe vs. Wade could mean for those who take things into their own hands.
