SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom is expanding his push to increase abortion care access — this time, by helping to fund the procedure for low- and middle-income people who don’t have health insurance.
Newsom on Wednesday released a preview of a new $57 million abortion care package he plans to include in the revised budget he’ll announce on Friday.
Most of the new funding — $40 million — will fund “grants to reproductive health care providers to offset the cost of providing care to low- and moderate-income individuals who do not have health care coverage for abortion care services,” a news release said.
