California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law to protect doctors who mail abortion pills to other states

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law protecting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in other states.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Wednesday that aims to stop other states from prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in places where the procedure is banned.

"Health care providers, physically located in California, will be able to offer a lifeline to people in states that have cut off access to essential care, and be shielded from the draconian laws of those states," state Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat and author of the bill, said in a statement.

"Denying the legitimate interest of other states to protect unborn children and public health is a dangerous precedent," the association wrote in a letter to lawmakers earlier this year.
