Reproductive rights advocates express alarm at veto decision
2 Yesterday · 14h ago · 2 posts · 2 sources · development 2 of 2
Reproductive Freedom for All and other advocates criticized the veto as a critical vulnerability, noting that executive orders can be revoked by future governors opposed to abortion or transgender care. The decision was described as particularly concerning given California's role as a national hub for abortion access infrastructure.
“Legislatively enacted laws are just on firmer footing when there are political changes at the executive level.”

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

Tent cities are fine with me. So long as they push those tent cities to the absolute edge of nowhere. The failure isn’t the tents, it’s their location.

No, I don't think he should , but if he makes it to the general we don't have much choice.
