Following the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade, many states have moved to either further restrict or expand abortion access, with California chief among the latter.

Having recently passed a spate of laws to cement abortion protections for residents and so-called abortion tourists, the state has positioned itself as a sanctuary for abortion seekers nationwide. However, according to one pro-life attorney, the true motive behind the legislation was more commercial than compassionate.

Building an Industry

“It’s horrific what the California Legislature has done,” said Susan Swift, vice president of legal affairs for the Right to Life League. “What they are doing … it’s like, Detroit used to be known for producing cars, right? Well, California is building an abortion industry. They are funding it actively.”
