California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed “urgency legislation” Thursday that temporarily allows Arizona health care providers to cross the border to provide abortions for patients from that state.
The bill, authored by Sen. Nancy Skinner (D) and Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D) and sponsored by Newsom, was fast-tracked through the legislature in response to an Arizona Supreme Court ruling in May that reinstated a Civil War-era abortion restriction.
