Wade\u00a0<\/em>is struck down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt is a little intimidating to know those numbers and influx will happen, but it\u2019s certainly not anything we\u2019re not ready for,\u201d Lauren Babb, the vice president of public affairs at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/planned-parenthood-california-surge-abortion\/39909784\"><span class=\"s1\">told<\/span><\/a> local outlet KCRA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/if-roe-is-thrown-out-roughly-half-of-u-s-states-will-restrict-abortions\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, around half of the states in the country will limit abortions if <i>Roe vs. Wade <\/i>is overturned. The Guttmacher Institute, a supporter of abortion rights, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/state-policy\/explore\/abortion-policy-absence-roe\"><span class=\"s1\">wrote<\/span><\/a>, \u201c23 states have laws that could be used to restrict the legal status of abortion\u201d while noting that \u201c16 states and the District of Columbia have laws that protect the right to abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">California has been preparing for this possibility for some time. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has already made the point that the Golden State will be a sanctuary for women seeking to get an abortion who are not able to get one in their home states.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOur responsibility is to others, not just to the few 40 million proud Californians, but others and so we\u2019ll have to do more. We\u2019ll have to do better,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">KCRA reported that Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which has around 30 centers in California, said it has been operating to ensure it can take on a possible spike in demand. Babb told the outlet that more clinicians, providers, and employees had been brought on.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Health centers are also reportedly being reconstructed for additional exam rooms. Some anticipate having 200-500 patients per week from other states if abortion is made illegal in other areas of the United States.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Planned Parenthood is also keeping a close watch on some of the bills considered by California lawmakers about abortion. The governor, along with other progressive Democrats, is reportedly trying to add an amendment to the state\u2019s constitution. The amendment, which Senator Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/ca-lawmakers-abortion-rights-leaked-roe-v-wade-draft\/39899616#\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a> she is planning to introduce, would definitively declare that abortion is a right that is protected.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe will not back down. We will double down,\u201d Atkins said. \u201cIf the Supreme Court of the United States won\u2019t protect our bodily autonomy, California will make sure our constitution leaves no room for confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Babb also pointed out that one proposed bill in California could benefit Planned Parenthood by permitting some nurse practitioners to carry out abortions without being observed by a physician.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The overturning of <i>Roe v. Wade <\/i>appears to be more of a possibility in recent days after a draft majority opinion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chief-justice-roberts-likely-to-order-investigation-of-scotus-leak-report\"><span class=\"s1\">was leaked<\/span><\/a> by Politico on Monday night, showing that five of the nine justices would decide to overturn the prior ruling.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is still unclear who leaked the document from inside the high court. In it, Justice Samuel Alito wrote, \u201cWe hold that <i>Roe<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Casey<\/i> must be overruled,\u201d and sent the wider pro-abortion world into a panic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If the majority opinion draft turns out to be the final decision, laws on abortion would once again be decided on a state-by-state basis.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abortion clinics in California are getting ready for a potentially massive influx of people coming to the state to get abortions if Roe v.
