SACRAMENTO—California state Sen. Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles) said she aimed to expand abortion access in Los Angeles County in what would be a blueprint for the rest of the state to follow.
Senate Bill (SB) 1245—the Los Angeles County Abortion Access Safe Haven Pilot Program—would expand abortion access regardless of residency status in the county and create more infrastructure to handle the demand. Some counties in California don’t have Planned Parenthood or other clinics offering abortions, so Kamlager said she hopes this program will be a “safe haven for abortion access” for residents in other counties.
