Gavin Newsom targets another two states for GOP's draconian abortion laws
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is continuing his campaign to make Republican lawmakers pay for their abortion bans, with new initiatives targeting Arizona and Alabama.
On Sunday, Newsom announced forthcoming legislation that would make abortion care more accessible to residents of Arizona, which shares a border with California. The proposal, a response to Arizona’s Civil War-era abortion ban, would shorten the amount of time it takes for Arizona doctors to be approved to perform abortions in California to anywhere from five to 10 days, according to Politico.
Appearing on “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Newsom said the state would be "providing doctors from Arizona the ability to come into California through emergency legislation we’ll introduce with our Women’s Caucus this week."

Newsom also told Psaki that a "big part" of his recent efforts have been to focus "electorally" on the neighboring states of Arizona and Nevada "and what the needs and the aspirations and desires of the people that live there are."
