Clinics in California are preparing for a possible surge of patients if abortion is banned in many other states in the country in the event that Roe v. Wade is overturned.
With more than two dozen states expected to ban or restrict abortion access, Gov. Gavin Newsom has said California will serve as a sanctuary.
Advertisement "Our responsibility is to others, not just to the few 40 million proud Californians, but others and so we'll have to do more. We'll have to do better," Newsom said.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which has roughly 30 health centers in the state, said it has been working to make sure it can handle the potential increased demand. Lauren Babb, the vice president of public affairs, said more clinicians, providers and staff were hired. Health centers are also being renovated to have space for more exam rooms. They are expecting to see between 200-500 patients a week from out of state if abortion is outlawed in other parts of the country.
"It is a little intimidating to know those numbers and influx will happen, but it's certainly not anything we're not ready for," Babb said.
Planned Parenthood is paying close attention to a set of bills related to abortion currently making their way through the California Legislature. For example, Babb said one could help with staffing if the need increases because it would expand the scope of what some nurse practitioners can do, allowing them to perform an abortion without the supervision of a doctor.
Well, they should be happy, then.
Should change the name of LA to ...
Los Diablos
Levi Straus will help bus them in, sounds like they might be ABORTION CAPITOL.. as well as HOMELESS Capitol, it goes together.
“Should change the name of LA to ...
Los Diablos”
Or Abortionland, a new theme park.
In California, any woman can get an abortion for free, paid for by the state. The woman doesn’t have to be a resident, and there is no means testing, so she doesn’t have to prove she is poor.
i’m so confused on all of this hysteria, NOTHING has been announced yet.
I’m beginning to suspect this was a fake leak to gin up the liberals, and distract from the state of the union.
Hey, if you’re seriously offending the living God already, might as well take it to the limit.

Planned Parenthood was founded not simply as an organization for limiting the size of families in general but more particularly to reduce the reproduction of the black population in the United States, as Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger herself noted.

Abortion tourism...the newest industry. Get rid of that nasty clump of cells, then hit the beach for some R&R.
The Dem base is morose, they needed to gin things up.
Make it a felony to travel interstate to murder an unborn baby.
Well....they can, and, will think of some derogatory name, for him.
And, cut off FEDERAL funds, to abortion sanctuary states.
The Gav is such an unabashed abortion cheerleader one wonders how many women he’s knocked up over the decades.
Hopefully they all move to California.
Shoot. I’m fighting with Verizon because FL residents get better deals on plans for 55+ seniors than others do. I joked about “traveling across state lines” into FL to get that deal but they were not amused.
But traveling to CA to kill a child would be OK.
that was exactly the purpose.
