“California schools should be focused on educating students to make a positive difference in this nation, not handing out abortion drugs so it’s easy for them to end the lives of future generations,”
SACRAMENTO, CA – The California Senate Health Committee recently voted 7-2 to force taxpayer-funded universities to continually appropriate the funds needed to provide “free” chemical abortions to students on campus by 2023.
Introduced in December 2018 by state Senator Connie Leyva (D), SB 24 would require student health centers on all University of California and California State University campuses to offer chemical abortions to students up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, beginning in January 2023. To fund the mandate, the bill allocates $200,000 grants to each of California’s 33 public university student health centers, covering the costs of “medication abortion readiness” which includes the purchase of equipment, facility and security upgrades, and training staff members.
