LOS ANGELES—Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed May 4 to make California a safe haven for women from other states seeking abortions, following a potential overturn of the federal abortion law under Roe v. Wade.

“This never [has] happened in our lifetime,” Newsom said during a press conference at a Planned Parenthood office in Los Angeles. “We’re taking away rights that have been affirmed over and over again and well established ... wake up America.”
