Gavin Newsom has signed a law on Tuesday making it cheaper for women on private insurance plans to abort their unborn babies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSB 245 prohibits health plans and insurers from imposing a co-pay, deductible, or other cost-sharing requirement for abortion and abortion-related services,\u201d the governor\u2019s office said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe legislation also prohibits health plans and insurers from imposing utilization management practices on covered abortion and abortion-related services,\u201d the press release continued. \u201cCalifornia is one of six states that require health insurance plans to cover abortion services, but out-of-pocket costs for patients can exceed a thousand dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though California already mandates that health insurance companies cover abortions, insurers charge for co-pays and deductibles \u2014 resulting in an average of $543 for a woman to use medication abortion to abort her baby or $887 for a woman to abort her baby surgically, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/wireStory\/california-governor-signs-law-makes-abortions-cheaper-83620915\">ABC reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs states across the country attempt to move us backwards by restricting fundamental reproductive rights, California continues to protect and advance reproductive freedom for all,\u201d Newsom said of the Abortion Accessibility Act, introduced by Democratic California state Sen. Lena A. Gonzalez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this legislation, we\u2019ll help ensure equitable, affordable access to abortion services so that out-of-pocket costs don\u2019t stand in the way of receiving care,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The law comes as the Supreme Court hears <em>Dobbs vs. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em>, a Supreme Court case that has the potential to overturn the landmark abortion decision, Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<p>Should Roe be overturned, at least 26 states will outright ban abortions or enact laws that heavily restrict abortions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/article\/2021\/10\/26-states-are-certain-or-likely-ban-abortion-without-roe-heres-which-ones-and-why\">according<\/a> to the pro-abortion research and policy organization, the Guttmacher Institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking at 26 states that will introduce some sort of ban and restriction on abortion, so you have the other half of the country that will need to prepare for how we take care of those patients,\u201d said Jodi Hicks, CEO and President of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/wireStory\/california-governor-signs-law-makes-abortions-cheaper-83620915\">according to NBC News<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re all imagining and trying to prepare correctly for what that impact will be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s wife said in a statement that California has \u201ctaken action to improve access to reproductive care by removing financial barriers to this essential health care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Golden State, we value women and recognize all they shoulder in their dual roles as caregivers and breadwinners,\u201d said Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the governor\u2019s \u201cFirst Partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia will continue to lead by example and ensure all women and pregnant people have autonomy over their bodies and the ability to control their own destinies,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom also announced in October that California would be participating in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2021\/09\/22\/governor-newsom-signs-legislation-strengthening-access-to-reproductive-health-care-and-protecting-patients-providers-lifts-up-new-reproductive-freedom-advisory-group\/\">California Future of Abortion Council<\/a>\u00a0in efforts to work with pro-abortion activists and lawmakers to \u201cadvance the state\u2019s reproductive freedom leadership,\u201d the governor\u2019s office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2022\/03\/22\/governor-newsom-signs-legislation-to-eliminate-out-of-pocket-costs-for-abortion-services\/\">said in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"allCNXContent\">\n<div class=\"AdPlaceholder\">\n<div data-box-type=\"fitt-adbox-incontentTeads2\">\n<div class=\"teads-inread sm-screen\">\n<div class=\"teads-ui-components-label\"><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
