Without options closer to home, the fall of Roe means that approximately 10,600 more people will travel to California each year for abortion care, with the majority coming from Texas or Arizona, according to a UCLA report.
Since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade last month, California has embraced its role as a primary abortion refuge.
— Lawmakers passed a state budget that commits $200 million to abortion and reproductive health care, including $40 million to cover abortions for people who can’t afford them, including those from out of state. California already has adopted measures over the past several years to make abortion more accessible and affordable, long before Roe was overturned. The state is home to a quarter of the nation’s health facilities that offer abortions, and already about 1 in 6 U.S. abortions are performed here.
A California doctor has proposed a floating abortion clinic in the Gulf of Mexico to help provide abortions to patients from southern states.
