California is joining with law firms and advocacy groups to create a hotline that provides access to information and pro bono services for people who need legal help related to abortion
FILE - California Attorney General Rob Bonta discusses the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, during a news conference in Sacramento, Calif., on June 24, 2022. California has joined with law firms and advocacy groups to create a hotline that provides access to information and pro bono services for people who need legal help related to abortion, as the state seeks to become a safe haven for reproductive rights since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
He said the new coalition seeks to put patients and care providers at ease by providing a wide range of legal services to people in places where abortion is restricted — including pro bono representation for anyone facing civil or criminal penalties for seeking, providing or assisting in reproductive care.
“Unforgiving abortion bans and the devastating health consequences that follow are galvanizing advocates, providers and law firms," said Lara Stemple, director of the Legal Alliance for Reproductive Justice. The California coalition will align with the Abortion Defense Network, a national nonprofit that provides similar advice, representation and funding to help pay legal expenses related to abortion care, Stemple said.
