California's Response to Potential Abortion Pill Restrictions Uncertain

California Governor Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers have promised to protect medication abortion in California, but it's unclear how the state will respond if the US Supreme Court limits the availability of Mifepristone by stripping its FDA approval. Newsom's office has proposed protecting the licenses of pharmacists who dispense the pill in California, regardless of how the court decides on the FDA approval. The governor will also pursue legislation that would shield out-of-state patients' private health information from other state laws. Newsom may provide another update on the state's response by the end of the week.
