The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday threw its support behind a proposed pilot project aimed at making the county a safe haven for women seeking abortions and reproductive health care.
Chief Justice John Robert confirmed the authenticity of the draft ruling Tuesday, but stressed it is not a final decision and could potentially change. He also condemned the leak of the document to the media and ordered an investigation into its release.
Notoriously liberal California is unlikely to take steps to ban or limit access to abortion, and discussions have already been under way about creating safe havens for women across the country to pursue reproductive health care in the state. The motion specifically calls on the county's lobbyists in Sacramento to advocate in support of the legislation -- contingent on the state allocating funds to support the program and a one-time budget request of $20 million for the pilot project.
Supervisor Janice Hahn called the draft ruling"terrible," and said she hoped the protests that have erupted nationwide might convince the justices to"rethink … one of the worst decisions they would ever make." "A woman's right to an abortion is crucial to our fight for equality in America," Martinez said."We cannot ask women to risk their lives by revoking their right to a safe medical procedure. I stand with women, California stands with women, and today, our city has reaffirmed that Los Angeles stands with and for women."
