If Governor Gavin Newsom signs the bill, California will be the first state with a law of this kind on its books.
As a bill requiring public California colleges to offer medication abortions awaits a State Assembly vote, supporters rallied to advocate for its passage.
"SB 24 reaffirms the constitutional right of every college student to access abortion care. College students that wish to end their pregnancy should have the right to access that service on campus without delay," Leyva said in a statement in June. "At a time when states across the South and Midwest are passing laws that ban abortion, Senate Bill 24 is an opportunity for California to continue leading on abortion access and reproductive rights," Murray said.
Along with the difficulty location posed, she faced"unnecessary barriers" to have an abortion, including the stigma and silence surrounding abortion.
